How to shut down or create a Database?
If you need to shut down or create a database, it is easiest just to work with the Derby-specific implementations of interfaces, as shown in the following examples.
javax.sql.XADataSource xads = makeXADataSource(mydb, true);
// example of setting property directory using
// Derby 's XADataSource object
import org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedXADataSource;
import javax.sql.XADataSource;
// dbname is the database name
// if create is true, create the database if not already created
XADataSource makeXADataSource (String dbname, boolean create)
{
DerbyXADataSource xads = new DerbyXADataSource();
// use Derby 's setDatabaseName call
xads.setDatabaseName(dbname);
if (create)
xads.setCreateDatabase("create");
return xads;
}
Setting the property does not create or shut down the database. The database is not actually created or shut down until the next connection request.
