Introduction
While DTP is not solely about databases, we have used relational databases as our primary set of examples in DTP 0.7 and 0.9. Further, we have selected Apache Derby as our sample database. Therefore, this guide will show the basic steps required for connecting to, and working with, Apache Derby using DTP.
