Don't know if this handles your needs, and I haven't
tried it with Derby before, but DBUnit allows you to
ensure your tables are in a known state prior to and
following unit tests.  It's very easy to use and makes
unit testing code with SQL statements simple to
manage.

Hope that helps.

The only "dumb question" is the one you were too afraid to ask.
