title: How do I use a Derby database?
body: <p>I am using an application that has an embedded Derby database. It is possible to switch the application to use MySQL but they recommended sticking with the default which is the Derby database, so I did.</p>
  
  <p>I have searched online for more information on this database having never heard of it but haven't come across a lot of details.</p>
  
  <p>How can I run queries etc. against a Derby database, as I can with MySQL (using <code>MySQL</code>), Oracle (using <code>sqlplus</code>) etc.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a similar sort of way?</p>
