Connecting to Derby with Eclipse

I have posted how to connect with NetBeans


With Eclipse:

Windows/Open Perspective/Database Development
Database Connections/New/Derby , name derbyLocal


database location = //localhost:1527/osbexamples;create=true;ServerName=localhost;databaseName=osbexamples

username = DEV_SOAINFRA
password = DEV_SOAINFRA or welcome1

save password


test connection

if you get

java.lang.Exception: Connection failed with unspecified error. at org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.DriverConnectionBase.internalCreateConnection(DriverConnectionBase.java:110)


then you are screwed - what a crappy error message is that, "unspecified error".... this is ridiculous!




you can still use

C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\common\derby\bin\ij.bat

see here for manual

for help type:
help;

(don' forget the ";" at the end)


I give up. I will just switch to Oracle DB. Screw Derby.
