Derby Basics

Once ij is set up, you can try the following commands at ij-prompt:

Creating a database 'MyDB'
ij> CONNECT 'jdbc:derby:MyDB;create=true';
ij (CONNECTION1)>

Opening a database
ij (CONNECTION1)> CONNECT 'jdbc:derby:MyDB';

Creating tables, inserting records and displaying records is as per standard SQL command set

To close a connection:
ij (CONNECTION1)> DISCONNECT

Java DB / Apache Derby Operating Instructions (Fedora)

ij is an interactive SQL scripting tool that comes with Derby. It can be used with the Derby Embedded JDBC driver or with a client JDBC driver, such as the Derby Network Client.

Upon setup of Java EE SDK (as per my tutorial), do the following

$ export DERBY_INSTALL=/opt/SDK/javadb
$ export CLASSPATH=DERBY_INSTALL/lib/derby.jar:DERBY_INSTALL/lib/derbytools.jar
$ echo $CLASSPATH
/opt/SDK/javadb/lib/derby.jar:/opt/SDK/javadb/lib/derbytools7.jar:
$

Now,
$ java org.apache.derby.tools.ij

This will start IJ, with the IJ prompt ij>

Play MP3 in Fedora without hassles

After fiddling along with GStreamer, Totem, Rhythmbox and more such stuff, I discovered an easy way to play MP3s (though not AAC):

Use LimeWire's in-built media player. Its a simple solution, and I really dont know why it took me so long to figure that out. For those heavy-users of LimeWire, its a handy tool, and avoids the mess of having to install MP3 codecs for hte default players.

FireFTP tested for the first time (5th Dec 2007)

FireFTP, the Firefox-based file transfer utility was tested today

successfully. The test was carried out on the Brinkster-hosted
CSI-TCET website. This opens ur another world of opportunities, with
me now being able to manage a website, irrepective of the accessing
platform.
