That seems to be alright. The problem is that the file does not yet
exist, because I want to create it from jdbc. I have tried using the new
filename (as shown above) and also just referring to the directory it
should be in, and only referring to the hostname, omitting the database
name. All are not accepted by jdbc.

I wonder whether jdbc can create new database when none has been created
by isql.

Guus.
