Some basic steps using Derby 10.5

The following is some basic steps of using derby bundled with GlassFish.

1. start derby database server:
$GLASSFISH_HOME/bin/asadmin start-database
or start it on a non-default port number:

$GLASSFISH_HOME/bin/asadmin start-database --dbport 1528
2. make sure environment variable DERBY_HOME is set:
$ echo $DERBY_HOME
/Users/root/v3/glassfish/../javadb
3. start derby ij (or ij.bat), connect to derby server:
$ $DERBY_HOME/bin/ij
ij version 10.5
ij> connect 'jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/sun-appserv-samples;user=APP;password=APP;create=true';

ij> select count(*) COUNT from sys.systables;
COUNT
-----------
24

1 row selected

ij> select OWNERID from EJB__TIMER__TBL;
ij> delete from EJB__TIMER__TBL;

ij> show tables;

ij> update foo set foo_name='foo1 new name' where foo_id=1;

ij> delete from foo where foo_id=1;
1 row inserted/updated/deleted

ij> select count(*) count from foo;
COUNT

0

1 row selected

ij> drop table foo;
0 rows inserted/updated/deleted

To start ij and connect to a database in single step:
java -classpath $GLASSFISH_HOME/../javadb/lib/derbyrun.jar -Dij.connection.sample="jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/sun-appserv-samples;user=APP;password=APP;create=true" org.apache.derby.tools.ij
When starting derby with GlassFish "asadmin start-database" command, the default host is localhost, the default port number is 1527, and the default derby system home is set to $GLASSFISH_HOME/databases. This is also the directory where derby.log and database files will be stored. To overwrite the defaults with the following options:
asadmin start-database --dbhost dell-01 --dbport 3333 --terse=true --dbhome $HOME/derby
