Hi Mark

JDBC does NOT know where your MySQL is installed!!
It only connects to the running DB server and asks him to use the database with the name "address".
The DB server (= mysqld) only knows where this database is lokated in your filesystem.

So what you try is nonsens :)

Tell mysqld where to find the database files not JDBC.

Tschau
