i am beginning to think it is a file system issue.if i do:jdbc:derby//localhost:1527/go/to/the/moon;create=true after having deleted thatdirectory from the derby system it will not create a new one.at least i cant see the path and db in the derby system.but if change it slightly:dbc:derby//localhost:1527/go/to2/the/moon;create=true now that path and db show up in konqueror.so how in the world can i not see it in konqueror or the shell in linuxbut it acts like it is thereand i can connect in squirell sql and see tables etc. like it was visiblein konqueror.weirdest thing i have come across in some time.i cant use this like this. dont know what to do.correct me if i am wrong but that is what i observe.i am using suse linux and derby 10.4.1.3thanks,later
