Satheesh Bandaram commented on DERBY-480:
-----------------------------------------

Actually it is possible to use IJ without any changes. I have tried this on DB2 
as follows:

>java org.apache.derby.tools.ij
ij version 10.2
ij> driver 'com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver';
ij> connect 'jdbc:db2://localhost:50000/tdb' user '<user>' password '<pwd>';
ij> select count(*) from sysibm.systables;
1
-----------
322

1 row selected

It is also possible to provide driver, database, protocol and user/password 
using ij properties as:

> java  -Dij.driver=com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver 
> -Dij.protocol=jdbc:db2://localhost:50000/  -Dij.user=<user> 
> -Dij.password=<pwd> -Dij.exceptionTrace=true -Dij.database=tdb 
> -Dij.retrieveMessagesFromServerOnGetMessage=true org.apache.derby.tools.ij
ij version 10.2
CONNECTION0* -  jdbc:db2://localhost:50000/tdb
* = current connection
ij>

>      Project: Derby

>   Components: Tools
>     Versions: 10.2.0.0
>     Reporter: Philip Wilder
>     Priority: Trivial

> The ij javadocs state:
> "ij is can also be used with any database server that supports a JDBC driver."
> While I was eventually able to get ij to work with db2, I had to modify the 
> protocolDrivers array in the org.apache.derby.tools.ij to include the ibm 
> Driver name as part of the list. 
> I would propose two options:
> 1) Remove this line from the javadocs
> 2) Start adding more protocols to this protocolDrivers array.
> While I think #1 is more correct, #2 has the potential to be more useful. 
> This said I suspect the number of people who would use ij for databases other 
> then derby can be counted on one hand that is missing fingers.
