We study the derived categories of small categories over commutative noetherian
rings. Our main result is a parametrization of the localizing subcategories in terms of
the spectrum of the ring and the localizing subcategories over residue fields. In the
special case of representations of Dynkin quivers over a commutative noetherian
ring, we give a complete description of the localizing subcategories of the
derived category and a complete description of the thick subcategories of the
perfect complexes. We also show that the telescope conjecture holds in this
setting and we present some results concerning the telescope conjecture more
generally.
