带有文件路径上空格的JDBC连接字符串（sqlite，hsqldb）

Question

I have to connect to a database that is hosted inside a file. Instead of pointing to a port I have to point to a file like this sqlite connection string:

"jdbc:sqlite:database/users.db"

But I can't figure out how to specify the path when the path has spaces on it like:

"jdbc:sqlite:C:\\Documents and Settings\\users.db"
"jdbc:sqlite:C:/Documents\ and\ Settings/users.db"

None of these work.

Preferably I also want to be able to specify this path in a manner that is system agnostic (ie works both on windows and on linux). Without needing specific processing on each.

Answer 1

It turns out that Nishant was right, I don't need to escape characters or use backslashes at all. This works:

"jdbc:sqlite:C:/Documents and Settings/users.db"

I had actually tried that but another bug prevented me from seeing it working. I had two bugs, but thought that I only had one.

Answer 2

I believe JDBC escaping is with {}. So that would become

"jdbc:sqlite:{C:/Documents and Settings/users.db}"

or

"{jdbc:sqlite:C:/Documents and Settings/users.db}"

or a variation of that.

Answer 3

For the system independent separator you should use File.separator from the standard API:

File (Java SE 7)

The system-dependent default name-separator character. This field is initialized to contain the first character of the value of the system property file.separator. On UNIX systems the value of this field is '/'; on Microsoft Windows systems it is '\\'.

File.separator returns this char as a String .

Answer 4

我们也可以尝试双反斜杠，它对我有用

"jdbc:sqlite:C:\\Documents and Settings\\users.db"
