Dag H. Wanvik commented on DERBY-6462:
--------------------------------------
The notion of "resolved path" may be opaque to some users. Perhaps we ought to
be more explicit, at least in the main syntax section, and say something like:
Even if you specify no colon in the database name, the name of the directory in
which the database is created (as determined by the current directory or the
property "derby.system.home") cannot contain a colon.
I tend to view this as an implementation bug, though.... so perhaps we should
leave it as is(?)

> 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.
