Derby in a multi-user environment

This section describes how to use Derby in a multi-user (or "server") environment.

• Derby in a server framework
  In a sense, Derby is always an embedded product. You can embed it in an application in which users access the database from a single Java Virtual Machine (JVM), or you can embed it in a server framework (an application that allows users from different JVMs to connect to Derby simultaneously).
• About this guide and the Network Server documentation
  This guide assumes that you are familiar with Derby features and tuning.
