Which DBMS is the best for netbeans.
None: you need to understand that Netbeans is merely a development environment that helps you to write Java programs. The end product is Java code and it does not rely on any part of Netbeans. The choice of database is entirely up to you and depends on the amount of data you need to process. For more information see this tutorial[^].

Solution 2

JDBC: YES, unless you want to use Hibernate or anything like that.

Check out the derby database, it's pretty slick, works fine and would totally integrate with your application.
So you wont have to bother with additional stuff.
Did I mention it's free? pretty cool.

Apache Derby[^]
