Re: root_path = configuration

Hi,

The 'root_path' property is only used when starting Mckoi through the 
command line interface.  When using the control API, DefaultDBConfig 
needs to be told the path of the Mckoi configuration file if that's the 
location you wish the database to be stored at.  For example;

   File config_path = new File("/absolute/path/of/config/");
   File config_file = new File(config_path, "mckoidb.conf");
   DefaultDBConfig config = new DefaultDBConfig(config_path);
   config.loadFromFile(config_file);

   DBController control = DBController.getDefault();
   control.createDatabase(config, "someuser", "somepassword").close();

Toby.
