An empty database with just system tables etc has less than 70 files/directories. Then you will use a few log files and maybe some property files so I would say that you will have about 175 files available for your own data.

Is it possible to cut down theses numbers both by # of files and filesize? By disabling all the unneeded logging, disabling features, forcing to write all logs to the same file, whatever. ANYTHING is fine, if it cuts down number of files and filesize.

The database will use one extra file for each table and index you create.

Ok, so file number grow linearly with the # of tables in the database. Is there a way to reduce this number, by storing several/ all tables into one 'data' file?

Do you need to do backups to the same system? In that case, you will need to be able to store more than one copy of each file.

No, I don't need backup. This is a 'cache' of a remote database, so I don't need ANYTHING at all, I just need to keep file number and file size to the MINIMUM possible with Derby :)

Thanks a lot for the help :)
