       Body:
This is a broader problem - you let anyone create databases whereever he wants. I dont think this is a good idea - someone might create garbage all over the server system. Maybe there should be a way to allow only certain directories.

Description:
Opening this bug on behalf of Daniel Debrunner

--------------------------------------------------------------
This bug occurs in embedded Derby and Derby Network Server. In Derby Network Server, it might be best for a security exception to be thrown when trying to create a database at a disallowed directory (SQLSTATE 38000).

This bug can be reproduced in IJ like so:
(if your 'D' drive is an inaccessible disk. e.g. your CD-ROM)
ij> connect 'jdbc:derby:d:/wombat2;create=true';
ERROR XJ041: Failed to create database 'd:/wombat2'
