=== Description

The `stop-database` subcommand stops a process of the Java DB server.
Java DB server is available for use with \{product---name} and is based
upon Apache Derby. The database is typically started with the
link:start-database.html#start-database-1[`start-database`(1)]
subcommand. A single host can have multiple database server processes
running on different ports. The `stop-database` subcommand stops the
database server process for the specified port only.

This subcommand is supported in local mode only.
