Use spaces after your punctuation, for God's sake!
Why wouldn't it be a good idea?
Did you Google for this first?
mean can I make my application in such a way that a user will not have
to do database setup separately.I am intending to give this\
Derby. It comes with the JDK already and can be embedded in your app just by
including the JAR file. No setup required.
application to users who will have no knowledge about database systems
or their setup.Can I hide the db setup/access and everything related

do I have to store data as csv [sic]?
Any help/advice most welcome
