Running Deryb on a Flash Drive

[Isuru Haththotuwa <is...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

Is it possible to run Apache Derby from a usb drive other than the normal
hard disk? If so, how to do this?

Although the performance might not be exactly stellar ;-) One could
increase the page cache so most of the db fit in memory if possible to
alleviate this (somewhat). I think a read-only database on a USB-drive
resonable scenario..

Hi Isuru,

Running Derby from a USB drive is no different than running it from a hard
drive. Apache Derby is a normal Java application and it does not depend on
the medium it is executed on. Simply place the JAR in the USB drive and use
it from there.

Tiago
