Welcome to the DB Derby Wiki
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.
This wiki is part of the
big Apache Wiki Farm
. Derby Wiki page change notifications get sent to the
derby-commits
list.
What is Derby?
Derby is a relational database implemented completely in Java. It has a small footprint that allows it to be easily embedded into any Java application, disappearing from view and requiring no DBA administration. It also supports the more familiar client/server access model.
The best place to get started with Derby is to visit the
Derby home page
. For questions about Derby, subscribe to the
Derby mail lists
. However, keep in mind that this wiki site provides tons of useful information (updated almost daily) for both users and contributors. For example, you can start by checking out:
DerbyPronunciation
: How do you pronounce Apache Derby?
DerbyFaces
: Photos of some Derby folks
DerbyFaces2014
: Photos from the 2014 Derby Developer Community Lunch
