Derby fails to create database [message #46629] Wed, 09 July 2008 22:36 Go to next message

I downloaded this plugin: org.apache.derby_10.1.2.1_v200706111724.jar
to eclipse/plugins, started
eclipse. Everything was going well with defining a driver definition but
when I got to the part where the 'New Derby Connection Profile' window
comes up and I fill in the details and press
'Finish' for the wizard to complete. Instead of connecting to the database
I get
this error:

Error creating SQL Model Connection to New Derby.(Error: Failed to create
database '/home/cuco/DerbyDatabases/MyNewDB')
Error creating JDBC Connection to New Derby - Failed to create database

THanks for any help

Was the "Create Database (if required)" checkbox checked and did
";create=true" appear in the URL in the wizard page where you configured
your Derby connection?

I just checked that. I restarted the wizard and clicked the properties.
when the New Driver Definition window came up. I noticed it had (under
General)
something like jdbc:derby:C\:myDatabases\......, so I changed that to
/home/cuco/DerbyDatabases/MyNewDB. The create=true was in the URL.
Now when I rt. click on New Derby in the Data Source Explorer and click
JDBC Connection Properties I see that it does have the URL as
jdbc:derby:/home/cuco/DerbyDatabases/MyNewDB:create=true, so that part
looks correct.
One other thing I noticed that looks strange,though, is that in the Data
Source Explorer it has the little blue icon for New Derby, but above that
it has another blue icon that just says c. I click on that to see what it
is, and I dont see any info for it. Anyway, thanks for your help. I'm
wondering it this could be a bug.

Can you create a Bugzilla entry and attach a screen shot along with any
steps to reproduce it? I'll be happy to take a look and see if I can repro
it then.

Thanks!

Well, it looks it's not a bug afterall. The tutorial I was using was
written
for Windows, which uses the C: drive for everything. THe tutorial has the
database URL as C:\databasedir\databasename. I'm using Linux, so I
substituted
my homedir for the C; drive part. It turns out that in Linux you need the
fully
qualified path, so ~home/workspace/dblocation, which worked.

the database so you get a more meaningful default).

Thanks for your patience with this and I'm glad you figured out the
solution. I didn't think to ask if you were on Linux or not. :)
