[jira] Created: (DERBY-711) The documentation should explain that Derby database files are platform-independent

The documentation should explain that Derby database files are platform-independent
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: DERBY-711
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-711
     Project: Derby
        Type: Improvement
  Components: Documentation  
    Versions: 10.1.2.1    
    Reporter: Jean T. Anderson
    Priority: Minor


Somehow the fact that Derby database files are platform independent slipped making it into the documentation. Here's a relevant post:

---------------------------------

Looks great, Bryan -- thanks.

One suggestion -- you could simplify the second sentence (and avoid a dangling participle and passive voice):

"You can move Derby databases from machine to machine without modifying the data."

Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-711:
---------------------------------------

Seems like a reasonable place to put this would be
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.5/getstart/cgsintro.html

I think we could just add something like:

  The on-disk database format used by Derby is portable and
  platform-independent. Derby databases can be moved from
  machine to machine without needing to modify the data; a
  Derby application can include a pre-built, populated database 
  if it needs to, and that database will work in any Derby configuration.

I think we could make this a paragraph by itself, right before the
"Before you install Derby" paragraph.
