----------------------------------------
> Is it standard to escape special characters?Perhaps this should be changed to
> a documentation issue?
I don't know, even if it is I couldn't figure out what escape character to use
from the documentation. I
tried the backslash, "\", as in the connection string below, and it didn't work.
jdbc:derby:jar:(C:/Program Files\(86\)/ClassicModels.jar)ClassicModels
> Since this involves a Windows standard folder I will add a TIP to the WIKI so
> the information is searchable.
The only workaround I can think of is to place the db jar file in a path which
doesn't
have the round brackets. Do you have any other suggestion?
> Connection to Derby doesn't work if the path has round braket in it

> Key: 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,
