Stan Bradbury commented on DERBY-913: ------------------------------------- Additional topics suggested by Ian Leslie to Derby-user on Feb 2, 2006 email archive URL: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/db-derby-user/200602.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] === Excerpt: Based on the next things I searched out information on I suggest the following additional modules: 1) A module showing a more complex example of inserting data. Introduce the notion of temporary tables and show how they can be used to hold simple data so that a more complex insert can be performed to populate a database. I am thinking here of something with a normalized set of tables and how to insert data such that the ids of one table join with another. As someone with little SQL or database experience, creating and populating the schema for my data was challenging (I have a friend who helped design a good schema - but I was thinking that more advanced database example would help us novices a lot). I had to fall back on my friend again for the SQL to perform the loading because the insert examples I read in the documentation were all very simple. 2) A module showing how to use update. I have discovered that each database uses update slightly differently. Some non trivial examples of update (perhaps with the more advanced database idea above) would be helpful. 3) A module showing how to produce and then connect to a read only database. Same thing in a .jar'ed database. The documentation has a good recipe at the moment but a step by step example to build on would be even better. I think the modules you have already will be very interesting I simply wanted to suggest you add a few more. > [WWD] Proposal to create and add Working With Derby, an activity-based > tutorial document, to the Derby documentation set > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: DERBY-913 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-913 > Project: Derby > Type: Improvement > Components: Documentation > Versions: 10.2.0.0 > Reporter: Stan Bradbury > Assignee: Stan Bradbury > Attachments: WWDditaSrc0220.zip, WWDditaSrc0222.zip, WWDhtml0220.zip, > WorkingWithDerbyV1.1.html, WorkingWithDerbyV10.html, workingwithderby0222.pdf > > I propose starting a new activity-based tutorial document for Derby.

Information would > be presented that supports a series of activities designed to be performed > after installation. These activities will guide beginners through the basics > of using Derby. Attached is a proposal that further describes the initial > topics as I see them. I would very much like feedback on all aspects of this > proposal from the Derby communities. Please post all feedback to the > derby-user maillist, include Working With Derby (WWD for short) in the > subject line of all messages on this topic. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
