How to export Derby database to sql insert file using JDBC

Question

I am trying to extract the current database to a .sql insert file. I am using IntelliJ and a Derby embedded database. I know how to do this manual through IntelliJ, but I want to do so through JDBC. I would like to store the file within the project as well, so it can be ran as a sql script to insert to the db later on.

Answer 1

It's not possible to extract a Derby database to a .sql file that can be ran later on.

Instead, simply zip up your Derby database folder and unzip it later on.

Answer 2

There is no option for backup as sql file format. However, to perform an offline backup of a database, simply use operating system commands to copy the database directory. The database must be shut down prior to performing an offline backup.
