start-database

- starts the Java DB

Synopsis

start-database [--help] [--dbhost host] [--dbport port-no]
[--dbhome db-file-path]

Description

The start-database subcommand starts the Java DB server that is available for use with GlassFish Server. Java DB is based upon Apache Derby. Use this subcommand only for working with applications deployed to the server.

When you start Java DB server by using the start-database subcommand, the database server is started in Network Server mode. Clients connecting to it must use the Java DB ClientDriver. For details on connecting to the database, refer to the Apache Derby documentation.

When the database server starts, or a client connects to it successfully, the following files are created:

These files are created at the location that is specified by the --dbhome option. To create the database files at a particular location, you must set the --dbhome option. If the --dbhome option is not specified, the start-database subcommand determines where to create these files as follows:

The start-database subcommand starts the database process, even if it cannot write to the log file.

This subcommand is supported in local mode only.

Options

--help
-?

Displays the help text for the subcommand.

--dbhost

The host name or IP address of the Java DB server process. The default is the IP address 0.0.0.0, which denotes all network interfaces on the host where you run the start-database subcommand.

--dbport

The port number where the Java DB server listens for client connections. This port must be available for the listen socket, otherwise the database server will not start. The default is 1527.

--dbhome

The absolute path to the directory where the database files and the derby.log file are created. If the --dbhome option is not specified, the start-database subcommand determines where to create these files as follows:

  • If the current working directory contains a file that is named derby.log, the start-database subcommand creates the files in the current working directory.

  • Otherwise, the start-database subcommand creates the files in the as-install/databases directory.

To create the database files at a particular location, you must set the --dbhome option.

Examples

Example 1 Starting Java DB

This example starts Java DB on the host host1 and port 5001.

asadmin> start-database --dbhost host1 --dbport 5001 --terse=true
Starting database in the background.  Log redirected to 
/opt/SUNWappserver/databases/derby.log.

Exit Status

The exit status applies to errors in executing the asadmin utility. For information on database errors, see the derby.log file. This file is located in the directory you specify by using the --dbhome option when you run the start-database subcommand. If you did not specify --dbhome, the value of DERBY_INSTALL defaults to as-install/javadb.
