Exporting Derby database in Netbeans

Question

I have a project with a derby database in it.

I want to be able to make a backup or export the database so I can give it with the project files to my lecturer.

Answer 1

By default, the database resides in your home folder under .netbeans-derby (this folder may be hidden under Windows). Copying this folder will work, but your lecturer will have to "register" this copied location with his IDE. To do this:

• Under Services, open the Databases node.
• Right-click on Java DB and select properties.
• In the Database Location field, enter the path to the copied folder.
