Apache Derby provides you tools such as sysinfo, ij and, dblook.
sysinfo tool
Using this tool, you can get information about Java and Derby environment.
Browse through the bin folder of Derby installation directory and execute the sysinfo command as shown below −
C:\Users\MY_USER>cd %DERBY_HOME%/bin C:\Derby\bin>sysinfo
On executing, it gives you system information about java and derby as given below −

ijtool
Using this tool, you can run scripts and queries of apache Derby.
Browse through the bin folder of Derby installation directory and execute the ij command as shown below −
C:\Users\MY_USER>cd %DERBY_HOME%/bin C:\Derby\bin>ij
This will give you ij shell where you can execute derby command and scripts, as shown below −
ij version 10.14 ij>
Using help command, you can get the list of commands supported by this shell.
C:\Derby\bin>cd %DERBY_HOME%/bin
C:\Derby\bin>ij
ij version 10.14
ij> help;
Supported commands include:
PROTOCOL 'JDBC protocol' [ AS ident ];
-- sets a default or named protocol

dblooktool
This tool is used to generate Data Definition Language.
Browse through the bin folder of Derby installation directory and execute the dblook command as shown below −
C:\Users\MY_USER>cd %DERBY_HOME%/bin C:\Derby\bin>dblook -d myURL
Where, myURL is the connection URL of the database for which you need to generate DDL.
