Hi again, I modified the path, instead of using
spath = "jdbc:h2:file:data/sample"; Now is: spath = "jdbc:h2:~/test"; And now I can see the sample.h2.db file in my home! This obviously seems to be a problem when defining the path...thus, I should I define the path relative to where the JAR file is being executed?
