[jira] [Commented] (DERBY-6462) Provide more information about database name and path syntax

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6462?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13911609#comment-13911609 ] 

Kim Haase commented on DERBY-6462:
----------------------------------

There are also problems if you specify file:// instead of either file:/ or file:/// (that is, it is okay to specify one or three slashes, but not two). I corrected this in src/devguide/cdevdvlp40350.dita, but there are two slashes in three other Developer's Guide topics. I have broadened the issue title to allow for these corrections as well. I will file a second patch. Hope this is all right. More suggestions are welcome.

> Except for initial Windows drive letters (e.g. K:/derby), colons break Derby.
> Windows can't have colons in directory of file names, so this is a Unix issue.
