JavaDB / Derby Error 08006

Question

In the article Using Java DB in Desktop Applications Address In the demo of the book there is a disconnect method that has a try-catch block that catches and ignores the exception. If you add printStackTrace, you will see that an exception always occurs.

What is wrong here? Should JavaDB not throw this exception, or should they fix something in the sample program?

Answer 1

Shutdown commands always raise SQLExceptions. Nothing wrong. This is how Derby works.
