Dag H. Wanvik commented on DERBY-6462:
--------------------------------------
THanks, Kim.
* devguide/cdevdvlp40350.dita:
"The database path must not contain a colon (:), except after the
drive name in a Windows path. The path separator in the connection URL
is / (forward slash), as in the standard file:/ or file:/// URL
protocol. (You can specify one forward slash or three, but not two.)"
This is a bit misleading, perhaps. We do not allow a standard URL file
syntax in the connect statement it seems.
ij> connect 'jdbc:derby:file:/tmp/foo';
ERROR 08001: No suitable driver found for jdbc:derby:file:/tmp/foo
Perhaps the original
reference to forward slash was to explain for Windows users why a
forward, not backward slash is required, using analogy to the URL
syntax. In the policy files, however, the URL syntax is supported
(not parsed by Derby, but by the Java run-time).
I suggest removing ", as in ....".

> Except for initial Windows drive letters (e.g. K:/derby), colons break Derby.
> Windows can't have colons in directory of file names, so this is a Unix issue.
