Knut Anders Hatlen commented on DERBY-5612:
-------------------------------------------
> I don't understand why the "standard syntax" in tdevdeploy39856 is wrong,
> though.
It lacks the classpath subsubprotocol that's required to access a database in a
jar on the classpath, and it has a leading slash. If those two problems are
fixed, it becomes identical to the other URL mentioned there, so it can be
removed.
> It seems to be the same as what is shown in

> jar files.
Yes, that one looks wrong too. :)
> Another possible discovery in the revised "Database connection examples"
> (rdevdvlp22102): Under the third bullet, on the example
> jdbc:derby:/reference/phrases/french, should the last sentence be removed?
Yes, I believe so. In the same topic, the eighth bullet (jdbc:derby:/myDB)
should be removed, the tenth bullet (jdbc:derby:classpath:myDB) should have its
last sentence removed, and the twelfth bullet (jdbc:derby:directory:myDB)
should have its last sentence removed too.
Do you think we've found them all now? :)

> The "Accessing databases from the classpath" section of the Derby Developer's
> Guide says that you can access a database on the classpath by putting a
> forward slash in front of the database name (and then adding other path legs
> as needed). I don't find that it works this way. I ran the following
> experiment:
> 1) I put a database called nast in the testRun/extin subdirectory of the
> current directory.
> 2) Then I put testRun/extin on the classpath.
> 3) Then I tried connecting to the database with various URLs.
> The following URLs could not find the database:
> connect 'jdbc:derby:/nast;user=KIWI;password=KIWI_password';
> connect 'jdbc:derby:nast;user=KIWI;password=KIWI_password';
> connect 'jdbc:derby:classpath:/nast;user=KIWI;password=KIWI_password';
> But the following URL found the database:
> connect 'jdbc:derby:classpath:nast;user=KIWI;password=KIWI_password';
> This is not what I expected from the documentation in the Developer's Guide.
