Re: Derby Eclipse Plugin for Encypted Database

[Susan Cline]

Hi Ruta,

 

Sometimes debugging connection string problems in Eclipse can be a little bit tricky.

I use ij to help in situations like this where you can't see all of the exceptions from Eclipse.

I took your connection string and ran it in ij:

 

ij> connect 'jdbc:derby:databaseName;create=true;dataEncryption=true;bootPassword=somePwd';
ERROR XJ041: Failed to create database 'databaseName', see the next exception fo
r details.
ERROR XBM07: Startup failed, boot password must be at least 8 bytes long.

 

Then I tried it with another longer password and was successful:

 

ij> connect 'jdbc:derby:databaseName;create=true;dataEncryption=true;bootPasswor
d=password';

 

I tried this from the DB2 Plug-ins for Eclipse and was successful.

 

The Connection URL text field in the New Database Connection wizard window looked

like this:

 

jdbc:derby:encryptDB;dataEncryption=true;bootPassword=password;create=true

 

For questions like these a good resource is the Cloudscape Eclipse Tools forum at:

Further to my query I would like to add the Exception which I get:
" Connection to C:\derby_home\mytestDB failed. IWAS0126E Problems
encountered while trying to establish
connection Cloudscape_Embedded. Reason: 'Failed to start database
C:\derby_home\databaseName',
see the next exception for details. "
Thanks,
