Thanks John. Problem solved. I do appreciate the way professionals
suffer amateurs like me on these lists.
Don't worry about it, any question about how to use Derby (and more) is welcome
on this list! I was not certain about the answer myself, and for some reason I
guess I was thinking you may already have tried it.
Now, does anyone know how to include a derby database in a Windows .exe
file?
If your database is read-only, I guess you could put your database in a jar
(your application jar file) and the wrap the jar in an exe file.
You can read about putting the DB in a jar in the Derby Developer's Guide,
within the section "Creating Derby databases for read-only use".
There may also be some "java-to-exe" tools that can do that sort of thing for
you, I don't know. You said you were using exe4j, but if you want to look around
for more such tools this article may be helpful:
