Description bakksjo 2005-09-08 12:12:56 UTC

In order to create a Derby database, a connection to the Derby server is created
with a url indicating a database name, and the parameter create=true. This is
the derby-specific way to create a new database.

After creating a database this way, the (now closed) connection that was used is
visible in the Runtime tab. There is no reason to show this connection, it will
only contribute to confusing the user.

Right click on the connection.  The options are "Connect",
"Properties", and "Delete".
The Properties window allows you to change the Database URL and User.  This is
very convenient if your database has multiple
schemas and users.
The state of the connection (Closed and Connected) is reflected in
the node.  It's a convenience to have the connection status
graphically displayed.
Users can delete the connection node if they so choose.
I would vote against fixing this "defect" if that were possible.

This is how it is supposed to work. The user can right-click the connection and
choose connect, which will make a connection to the database and display the
database objects (tables, views, etc.) under the connection node.
