SQuirreL SQL Client is a graphical Java program that will allow you to view the structure of a JDBC compliant database, browse the data in tables, issue SQL commands etc, see Getting Started and Introduction. The minimum version of Java supported is 1.6.x as of SQuirreL version 3.0. See the Old Versions page for versions of SQuirreL that will work with older versions of Java.
SQuirreL's functionality can be extended through the use of plugins.
Susan Cline graciously took the time to document the steps she followed to setup an Apache Derby database from scratch and use the SQuirreL SQL Client to explore it.
