Susan Cline graciously took the time to document the
steps
she followed to setup an Apache Derby
database from scratch and use the SQuirreL SQL Client to explore it.

Quite some time ago Kulvir Singh Bhogal wrote a great
tutorial
on SQuirreL and published it at the
IBM developerWorks site.
He has kindly allowed us to mirror it locally. The tutorial is not really up to date but
especially for doing the first steps it is still of help.
