GlassFish Server includes an implementation of Java DB (formerly known as Derby), however, you can use any JDBC-compliant database. The database is not started automatically when you start GlassFish Server, so if you have applications that require a database, you need to start Java DB manually by using the local start-database subcommand.
Start the database by using the start-database(1) subcommand.
When the database server starts, or a client connects to it successfully, the following files are created at the location that is specified by the --dbhome option:
The derby.log file contains the database server process log along with its standard output and standard error information.
The database files contain your schema (for example, database tables).
This example starts Derby 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/javadb.log. Command start-database executed successfully. |
You can also view the full syntax and options of the subcommand by typing asadmin help start-database at the command line.
