I've spent considerable time trying to configure the built-in
derby embeded DB as a CF client variable store and have failed
utterly. It seems to be impossible.
I had a SQL Server client store which worked just find, but, for various reasons that are irrelevant here, I would really prefer not to do that and use derby instead.
I created the database, created the dsn, set the dsn as the client store and it all looked okay. But it isn't. The CLOCAL and CGLOBAL tables were not created as they should have been (and were for SQL Server). So I created them by hand as described in thehelp files, but that failed as well. Changing various things yields different errors, but there is a consisted 500 Server error. I can only guess that the database writes are failing, but there is no indication as to why.
I have looked all over adobe.com and all over the intertubes and there is no further information of any kind. In fact, the latest instructions for even creating the database date back toMay 2007 and have no resemblance to the administrators screens at all. (I'm running CF 8,0,1,195765 standard). When I create an embedded derby dsn, I get the generic "default"Data & Services > Datasources > Other screen. There's nothing "derby" about it.
So, frankly, it seems pretty pointless and useless to me. If someone can point me DIRECTLY to relevant information, I'd appreciate it. I cannot believe in the year plus this product has been out that NO ONE has done this, especially when it's commentedall over the place that this is one of the things you can do, yet there's nothing. Even searching for just "derby" on these forums yields only three hits, none of which are relevant.
