Apache Derby Example(s)

This Derby example doesn't need the use of zxJDBC. I was looking to complete the exercises in the book "Python programming with Java libraries" but couldn't find anywhere a site to download InstantDB. Trying Apache Derby was quite a pleasant experience. I am attaching files here.
RSMD.py is a database utility I found in IBM.
SimpleApp.java the original Java demo
If you follow the instructions in this tutorial everything will go smooth. Derby Tutorial. (note: there is also a lot of info on their wiki)
