Databases! (Embedded)

843810Feb 11 2009 — edited Feb 11 2009
Hi, I've been working on an application that will allow me to display information from a database. However, I am currently trying to embed the database with no luck.
I have scoured the internet and have tried many different sources but so far I have been unsuccessful in my endeavor to create an embedded database.
I am currently using NetBeans 6.5 and have completed the [CarsApp Tutorial|http://www.netbeans.org/kb/docs/java/gui-db.html] .

Whenever I try to make a new connection with Java DB (Embedded), it is unable to connect because it cannot find the database that it should connect to. However, when I create a database using the JavaDB in NetBeans, the IDE automatically assumes that it is a network database and so I don't know how to make it usable for the embedded connection.

As you can see, I am stuck in this paradox and I know that there is a way to create an embedded database but I don't know how. Please keep in mind that I am a complete beginner with databases and whatnot so try to make the advice/instructions as easy as possible.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
