Derby – Not the horse race

Derby is an open source Apache project. It is a relational database implementation in Java. The basic advantage of this is that you can embed it in any Java-based solution.
Derby can be divided into two:
1. Embedded framework
2. Client/Server framework

Embedded framework: In the embedded system the derby engine does not run in a separate process and there are no separate database processes to start up and shut down. So the magic is that the database engine runs inside the same JVM as that of the application. So derby becomes part of the application just like any other jar that the application might use.
