RE: Cloudscape / Apache Derby

SQL databases we currently have. 

The reason I have hesitated to completely replace existing databases (I use
MySQL extensively also) is because I wasn't sure if Derby was as "easy" for
the user to access with their third party applications to build reports on.
Is all that's required is a jdbc connection statement and the appropriate
jars?

How does one do back/restore of table data? Is there a dump feature?

Thanks for your comments Pete,

I have only used it for some testing/prototyping and only with in the
confines of Websphere Application Server Community Edition.

I brought over a DB from MySQL and one from MS SQL and installed them, quite
easily as I recall, into the Derby DB in WASCE (using scripts generated from
SQuirreL).  No problems noted but I also haven't scaled it at all.

I am building a Linux server on an IXS that will be hosting all our company
web applications.  I plan to run all of them from WASCE so Derby will
replace the MySQL and MS SQL databases we currently have.  I'll know more
after the migration.
