Hi Walter,

Derby's SQL dialect is documented in the Reference Guide: http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.4/ref/

If what you need to do is populate a table from stdin, you can do this by writing a table function which reads from stdin and presents the input as rows. Then you populate your table like this:

insert into mytable
select * from table( stdinReadingTableFunction() ) s

Table functions are described in the Developer's Guide in a section titled "Programming Derby-style table functions": http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.4/devguide/ Table functions are discussed at length in the white paper posted here: http://developers.sun.com/javadb/reference/whitepapers/index.jsp

Hope this helps,
-Rick

Hi,

is there a COPY command applicable in derby? I know this from
PostgreSQL, e.g.
COPY table (column1, column2) FROM stdin;
c11     c12
c21     c22
c31     c32
\.

I tried it with SQuirreL but had no success. Btw. where do I find a
reference of supported SQL commands in derby?

Thank you very much,
Walter
