Use Tools | Java DB Database | Start Java DB Server to start the

Some of the examples we build in this book use the Java DB as the data store. You
can use any JDBC-compliant DB for your projects. Starting from NetBeans 6.0, you
can also connect to PostgreSQL DB, which is most widely used by the community.
Java DB has an advantage of being completely managed from the NetBeans
run-time environment.
