JDBC Derby driver not found

You said you have followed the tutorial. In the tutorial you had to install JDBC driver.

Installing a JDBC driver generally consists of copying the driver to your computer, then adding the location of it to your class path.

After installing the driver you run

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver

That is only possible if you messed the correct diver.

You have used

org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver

to load the driver

but should use

org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver

If you have this type of error

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver

and you are using netbeans then you have to follow these steps:

right click on library
choose add library option and from the list of libraries choose "Java DB Driver"

enter image description here

Java JDK comes with both

org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver
org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver

Within eclipse add the following jars to the used JRE(JDK) or explicitly to your project.

[JDK]db/lib/derby.jar (EmbeddedDriver)
[JDK]db/lib/derbyclient.jar (ClientDriver)

For runtine you needed to made the appropriates jar available for your java application.

java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:derby:db directory

So your error can be caused by:

Driver is not loaded correctly or your URL is malformed. So at first you need to ensure that your *.jar is in classpath. Check it out.

Also try to change your URL to:

jdbc:derby://<path>/<databasename>;create=true

create=true will ensure that db will be created if does not exist.

Update:

Look at this thead also: SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:derby://localhost:1527
