# Using the Derby ij tool with the Network Server

To use the ij tool with the network client driver:

1. Startup ij in one of the following ways:
   1. Use a script. Run the ij.bat script on Windows systems and the ij.ksh script on UNIX systems. These scripts are located in the $DERBY_HOME/frameworks/NetworkServer/bin/ directory.
   2. Run the ij tool from the command line.

          java org.apache.derby.tools.ij

2. Connect by specifying the URL:

       ij> CONNECT 'jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/sample'
       	USER 'judy' PASSWORD 'no12see';

   See Network client driver examples for additional URL examples.
