Hi,

I work on a number of projects that are used by developers all over the
place. As such when the checkout the source they often need to change
the jdbc url to reflect the location of their .gdb file.

I wondered if a syntax would be possible in the url to signify that the
url is for localhost and relative to the current directory. The driver
would expand the path before passing onwards.

eg our projects generally have the following subdirectories

build
src
data

For example using OJB (db.apache.org) we need


dbalias="//localhost/home/david/dev/framework/contrib/contact/data/contact.gdb?lc_ctype=UNICODE_FSS"

in the xml repository. I wondered if this could be

dbalias="./data/contact.gdb?lc_ctype=UNICODE_FSS"

so that it would work for all developers.

What do you think?

Thanks

Dave
