About this guide
This section describes who this guide is for as well as how to use it.
Purpose of this guide
This guide explains how to use Derby in a multiple-client environment. It also provides
information that a server administrator might need to keep Derby running with a high
level of performance and reliability in a server framework or in a multiple-client application
server environment (When running in embedded mode, Derby databases typically do not
need any administration).
To connect multiple clients with Derby, you can embed Derby in a server framework
that you choose, or you can use the Derby Network Server. This guide describes these
options.
