Derby is still new, so I will not expect so much support on it. In Java will be good, but C# less likely

Hi chsarp_vijay,

Derby is pure Java. if you want to use it, you must program Java. Why not using SQL Anywhere/Ultralight from worldwide leader in mobile computing, Sybase? There mobile computing database run on almost all mobile systems, even on mobile phones (also Derby does so). You can download developer system from Sybase without charge and limitations (ok, one limit exists: you shall not use developer licence in commercial projects).

krs,
