The size of an empty database is much less than that, ca 2Mb, cf. this test: dag@T61pOS:~$ ij ij version 10.6 ij> connect 'jdbc:derby:wombat;create=true'; ij> create table t1(i int); 0 rows inserted/updated/deleted ij> create table t2(i int); create table t3(i int); 0 rows inserted/updated/deleted ij> 0 rows inserted/updated/deleted ij> create table t4(i int); create table t5(i int); create table t6(i int); 0 rows inserted/updated/deleted ij> 0 rows inserted/updated/deleted ij> 0 rows inserted/updated/deleted ij> connect 'jdbc:derby:wombat;shutdown=true'; ERROR 08006: Database 'wombat' shutdown. ij> connect 'jdbc:derby:;shutdown=true'; ERROR XJ015: Derby system shutdown. ij> exit; dag@T61pOS:~$ du -sh wombat 1.9M wombat Not sure why yours is so large. Of course, with a more complex schema it would be somewhat larger than in my experiment, but not that large. Did you insert and delete any data at all? And is so, did you close down the database properly so a checkpoint could happen (otherwise you might have large log files). Updates could also leave "holes" in database files which you would need to run compress to remove[1]. > Besides...is there a way to have just a file for db (not zip), > instead of 3 subfolders? No. Read-only databases can be put in a jar or zip file: http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.7/devguide/cdevdvlp24155.html Thanks, Dag [1] http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.7/ref/rrefaltertablecompress.html
