creating database in netbeans

I've tried to create a database in netbeans and each time i do that it gives the following message:
"An error occured while creating the database: null."

- I made sure i started the server and this is the message of connectivity:
Apache Derby Network Server - 10.6.2.1 - (999685) started and ready to accept connections on port 1527

-I reinstalled netbeans and i have version 7.1 right now.

-I added all the .JAR file i needed for derby and clientderby in the libraries, even though its doesnt have to do with creating database.

- I opened netbeans as administrator.

any ideas on how to be able to create a database in the Java DB?

So u just want to connect to database or it must be Derby database, if you are not insisting on Netbeans Included Derby , you can use MYSQL for example just download it and start your work ,

If you just asking about opening a connection this topic will helps you:
java/navigating-to-database-using-java-t9365.html

But if you want to create a new database from your java source code this snippet will clear the idea:

Code:


myDBConnection = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:mysql://localhost/?user=root&password=root"); 
myStatement=myDBConnection.createStatement();
int Result=s.executeUpdate("CREATE DATABASE newDbName");
 

I hope i helped
