Based on the environment in which JavaDB is running, Java SE 6 contains two drivers for accessing JavaDB. They are:

Embedded driver enables you to access JavaDB databases running in the embedded environment.

The org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver class implements the embedded driver.

Network client driver enables you to access the JavaDB database running in the client/server environment.

The org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver class implements the network client driver.
