During development, it is sometimes required to start with a new database. But using the built in Derby, there are scripts that remove the complete Database so you can rebuild again. When using an external Database, during development, you must take the responsibility of cleaning out the tables and data yourself. For that reason it is best during development to use the built in Derby.
note if your using ofbiz as a desktop application (no ecommerce) then you could use derby, in small companies. Vivek Mishra sent the following on 10/14/2008 5:18 AM: > What is the advantage of postgres over derby ? > We can use Derby but why we are using postgres ? > >
