Right, there are internal layers in the architecture, but they do not constitute public APIs at the present time. Note that when you use Derby embedded combined with prepared statements, the SQL overhead is typically low, we have measured in the order of 15-20% extra for read operations of small records with a simple primary key (we used the internal APIs to make a comparison), where data fit in the in-memory cache. But YMMV, of course. > > Now that Derby is included in Java 16--I am having a really hard > time finding Java documentation that talks about Derby. The Java DB docs are essentially the Derby docs rebundled. You can find them here: http://developers.sun.com/javadb/reference/docs/index.jsp The Derby version is here: http://db.apache.org/derby/manuals/index.html#docs_10.4 Thanks, Dag
