You are correct. Any valid user can create as many databases as they want, provided that the databases are created in a part of the file system which is write-accessible to the engine jar and to the account which runs the server. There is no way to prevent a valid user from creating databases.

Hi,

My doubt is that, if I am not wrong, every user that can connect to the
network server can create a new database and so indirectly a new directory
in the same places where the user that runs the network server have write
permissions.
I would prefer to create the database not directly on the network server
but with the embedded driver and then later make it available on the
network server.
Maybe it is possible to limit this behaviour via the security manager but I
don't think this can change a lot of the behaviour.

Is it possible to disable/prevent/limit this?

Thanks for the help
