# Environment setup and the Derby tools

`ij`, `sysinfo`, and `dblook` are tools that can be used in an embedded or a client/server environment. The import and export utilities and database class loading utilities are database-side utilities, which means that they run in the same JVM as Derby (e.g. on the Server). This means when used in a client/server environment all files imported, exported, or loaded must be local to the Server machine.
