Hi Pierre,

The location of database files is determined by two variables: 1) the 
database location in your connection URL and 2) the location of the 
Derby system directory indicated by the "derby.system.home" system 
property. For more detail, please see the section titled "Connecting to 
databases" in the Derby Developer's Guide:  
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.4/devguide/ In particular, please 
take a look at the subsection titled "Database connection examples".

Hope this helps,
-Rick
