Import data from a ooo.base to Derby

Question

Hi,
I need to import data from a ooo.base to Derby.
I am not an expert in this kind of work, but:
- I prepared the data in a spreadsheet, exporting them from the ooo.base.
- And I read in the documentation that Derby allow to import data with the statement:
SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_IMPORT_DATA(.....);Now I am trying to do things in this way, but I am not able to write correctly the statement above.
I tried it in some different way and always :
    exmples:
CALL SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_IMPORT_DATA(NULL, 'STAFF', null, '1,3,4', 'data.del', null, null, null,0);
CALL(" SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_IMPORT_DATA(NULL, 'STAFF', null, '1,3,4', 'data.del', null, null, null,0)");but the NetBeans IDE evidence shows that this statement is with error of syntax_.
I spent much time to understand how to write this SQL procedure, so I would like some help to be able to do it.
Thank you in advance

Hi jshell,
it is nice to hear from you again.
After I read your suggestion I looked better on the manuals of Derby.
Derby has such tools that you supposed they have; they are named ij, but they work from the command line and they are not easy to use.
The procedure to import/export data of Derby can be used from the ij utility or inside a Java program.
The procedure to import and export data of Derby are in the file derbytools.jar, and this file have to be in the classpath if you want to use them.
Putting derbytools.jar in the classpath I could execute the code that I post down (to benefit of others that can be interested) without errors:
            PreparedStatement ps = connection.prepareStatement("CALL SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_EXPORT_TABLE (?,?,?,?,?,?)");
            ps.setString(1, null);
            ps.setString(2, "STAFF");
            ps.setString(3, "staff.dat");
            ps.setString(4, "%");
            ps.setString(5, null);
            ps.setString(6, null);
            ps.execute();Thank you for the advice
regards
Angelo.
