Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-4637:
--------------------------------------
Hi Kristian,
It's probably sufficient just to rewrite that sentence so that it is clear that
the same name resolution rules apply regardless of whether the database is on
disk or in memory. Thanks.
> The Developer's Guide implies that, for in-memory database names, Derby does
> not resolve relative and absolute paths to the same in-memory database

> Key: DERBY-4637
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4637
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 10.6.1.0
> Reporter: Rick Hillegas
>
> The Developer's Guide says in the section titled 'Conventions for specifying
> the database path':
> "When accessing databases from the file system (instead of from memory, the
> classpath, or a jar file), any path that is not absolute is interpreted as
> relative to the system directory."
> A casual reader might interpret this to mean that the system directory is not
> used to resolve paths in the names of in-memory databases. But, in fact,
> Derby does use the system directory to qualify relative paths in the names of
> in-memory databases.
> For instance, if the system directory is /Users/blah/derby/dummy, then Derby
> treats the following urls as identifiers for the same in-memory database:
> jdbc:derby:memory:db
> jdbc:derby:memory:/Users/blah/derby/dummy/db
> Similarly, Derby treats the following urls as names for the same in-memory
> database:
> jdbc:derby:memory:/foo/bar/db
> jdbc:derby:memory:/foo/bar/../bar/db
> The Developer's Guide could use a section on how to resolve in-memory
> database names.
