I was looking at it from a perspective of database management in
production. It may not necessarily be done by programmers. Toad is
Oracle-specific. That's what makes it useful to DBAs, PL/SQL
programmers, even business users sometimes. Same for phpMyAdmin.
But then again, with Derby's focus on embedding making database a
"black box" app backend instead of business data repository, this may
be less important, so you may have a point here.
Anyone has any (if only anecdotal) information on how Derby is
actually used (server vs. embedded)?

how much non programmers look directly in derby?
derby is a tool for programmers, programmers are users of derby (see
their applications)
users use applications
no need for a derby specific gui, derby expose SQL and jdbc interface,
which are standard

I'd say go with standalone as well. It makes sense because Derby
itself
is a database, not a development framework, so there is a good chance
that many potential users of the GUI won't be IDE users at all.

A GUI for derby is a great idea. I have used SquirreL, but it lacks
some functionality, and it is under LGPL not Apache license.
A stand alone GUI would be better, people tend to use different
IDEs.

Subject: Re: Developing a UI for Derby
Sounds nice. Derby doesn't have its own GUI. This page at
Apache
Derby lists several known GUI tools that work with Derby. Are you
thinking of a stand-alone tool or on some framework... like
Eclipse?

Hi,
I'm interested in developing a GUI for Derby with Apache
licence.
Schema browser
alter table (column/constraint)
DML (insert/delete/update)
This will be something like "Toad" to "Oracle".
Is there any tool already exist?
