Dag H. Wanvik commented on DERBY-4381:
--------------------------------------
We could introduce '\' (backslash) as an escape character in this syntax, but I
guess that could make some
Windows users unhappy, since I think Derby (Java) accepts '\' as directory
delimiter along with '/' (forward slash).
One would then have to write C:\\Program Files\\ ... Using forward slashes
would avoid this, but changing this
syntax would likely break existing apps. One possible way out would be to
interpret backslash as a meta-character only in front of punctuation and
whitespace characters, otherwise it would be taken verbatim. E.g. \\ means a
single backslash, \w means a backslash followed by a lower case w.

> Key: DERBY-4381
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4381
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 10.5.3.0
> Environment: Windows Vista
> Reporter: Shivaraju Gowda
> Original Estimate: 5h
> Remaining Estimate: 5h
>
> In 64 bit windows vista OS, if an executable is 32 bit than it is generally
> installed under
> "C:\Program Files (x86)" folder. The brackets in the path cause problems
> while connecting
> to any database stored in that folder(in jar format) through derby JDBC.
> The effective connection string is :
> jdbc:derby:jar:(C:/Program Files(86)/ClassicModels.jar)ClassicModels
> This fails because the closing brackets is not escaped.
> I looked into the documentation and didn't find references to escaping the
> brackets in the path.
> I think this problem should be reproducible on all platforms.
> you cannot connect to it,
