Got it, Thanks!

Ralf,

<< But when you have a application on an USB-Stick, then you must setting
the database catalog path and in the configuration file the database path.

This is not correct.  You only need to make sure that the database path is
correct in the config file, and that's it.

<< I think it is better for a easier handling, remove the database path from
the configurations file and make a extra property in database component
'database-root-path'. >>

And doing so would completely eliminate the ability to refer to a database
by name in SQL instead of by path, which is not something that we intend to
do.
