Derby Retired
On 2025-10-10, the Derby developers voted to retire the project into a read-only state. Derby development and bug-fixing have ended. No further releases will be published. The Derby website and wiki are frozen in place. Derby JIRA issues are now read-only and new bugs cannot be logged. The user and developer lists are disabled and can be accessed only through their archives.
What is Apache Derby?
Apache Derby,
an
Apache DB subproject
is an open source relational database implemented entirely in Java
and available
under the
Apache License, Version 2.0
Some key features include:
Derby has a small footprint -- about 3.5 megabytes for the base engine
and embedded JDBC driver.
Derby is based on the Java, JDBC, and
SQL
standards.
Derby provides an embedded JDBC driver that lets you
embed
Derby in any Java-based solution.
Derby also supports the more familiar client/server mode with the
Derby Network Client JDBC
driver and Derby Network Server
Derby is easy to install, deploy, and use.
