Oracle and other databases (including Derby server mode) - the DB runs as a separate process and the application talks to it over a network connection. Embedded databases such as Derby the database runs inside your application, the database is on a local disk and the application objects talk directly to the DBMS objects via method calls.
Actually doing the embedding basically requires two things: 1. including derby.jar in your classpath 2. connecting to the database using a URL that specifies a local file Otherwise - what Rick said - the Derby documentation is pretty straightforward and useful.
