Netbeans and Derby and Ajax

First, set up your database.
Netbeans already runs a database called derby. Follow this tutorial to create a database and connect it.
Some tips on derby with netbeans:

Add the derby.jar library to your project. It was installed under glassfish-v2/javadb/lib.

Here is sample code for the connection:

package edu.sc.cse;

import org.apache.derby.jdbc.*;

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;

public class DatabaseConnector {

    public static Connection getConnection() {
        Connection con = null;
        String driver = "org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver";
        try {
            Class.forName(driver).newInstance();

        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Failed to load mySQL driver.");
            return null;
        }
        try {
            //AJAX is the database name. 
            //This is for empty username and password
            //Otherwise append ?username=jmvidal&password=usc
            con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/AJAX");

          } catch (Exception e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
          }
          return con;
      }
}

To import or export a whole table, like zipcodes.del use:

/*To import my zipcodes.del table */
CALL SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_IMPORT_TABLE
(null,'ZIPCODES','/full-path-name/zipcodes.del',null,null,null,0)


/* To export a table */
CALL SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_EXPORT_TABLE
(null,'ZIPCODES','/full-path-name/zipcodes.del',null,null,null)

To delete all rows use delete from "TABLENAME"
To insert use INSERT INTO TABLE (USERNAME,PASSWORD) VALUES ('jmvidal','usc')
When building statments in JDBC, do not add a ; at the end.
