I'm using Derby ij to look into my local Apache Derby database. It's just a folder and I connect to it like this:
connect 'jdbc:derby:C:\Users\Torben\MyDatabase' USER 'me' PASSWORD 'secret';
It works, but I don't really like to look into the database in the console. Is there another tool for this? The best would be something with a GUI.
Squirrel SQL can connect to an Apache Derby database. Getting Started using the SQuirreL SQL Client
