Hello John,

Another search-mechanism that works (currently), is to search for 
directories named 'seg0' (that is the digit zero). The parent directory 
of a directory named 'seg0', is the database directory.
If you have '/home/kristwaa/tests/BookDB/seg0', then you can connect to 
the database using the absolute path in the JDBC url like this:
'jdbc:derby:/home/kristwaa/tests/BookDB'
