Thanks Jean,

I know that Cloudscape had Cloudview as the gui tool. It was pretty 
convenient to use. Will try and look into dblook

If you don't have schema files readily available, the derby dblook tool 
dumps the schema for a given database. More info is at 
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.1/tools/ctoolsdblook.html .

Derby doesn't have any GUI tools, but a few that (seem to) work are 
documented at http://db.apache.org/derby/integrate/misc.html . In 
particular, I keep hearing really good things about SQuirreL SQL from 
http://squirrel-sql.sourceforge.net/ . If you decide to look at this, 
grab the new jar they made available that fixes a derby problem; see

I use vi. The schema files (there are ten of them) are in directory  
test/sql/derby/{application}|{datastore}identity/schema*.sql

Not that I'm aware of.
