I am using Eclipse, Java and a Derby database. I want to experiment with changing values that rewrite one of the tables in the db. Before starting the change I would like to copy the particular table (not in code) so that I can restore the original data if necessary. Sof ar googling and searching this site hasnt produced an answer. In Eclipse there is an option to export the db but it calls it a connection so I am not usre what would happen.

If what Eclipse does isn't clear for you, you can just as well zip your entire database directory (content of DERBY_HOME env. variable) into an archive. The database must not be running while you make the backup.
