- Runs everywhere from PDAs to laptops to mainframes.
- Embeddable in applications.

Where is Java DB in Sun Products?
Java DB is included in the Java SE Development Kit, and is the developer database for the Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server.
“ We think Derby's best "feature" is its wide domain of applicability - that is it can be used anywhere from say a very small embedded database like say SQLite, all the way up to concurrent database applications matching MySQL, etc.”

We're Looking For Your Feedback
The Apache Derby community is hard at work on its next feature release, 10.6. The community is always looking for feedback on its work in progress. In particular, the community is looking for feedback on Restricted Table Functions. This feature lets you run SQL more efficiently against large external data sets such as in-memory collections and foreign databases.
For more information about Restricted Table Functions, see the feature description and the Javadoc for the RestrictedVTI and Restriction classes.
