I had the same problem.

I resolved using an text based interface from
cloudview:

1. Go to "%j2ee_home%\lib" directory.

2. Run: "cloudscape -start" (to start database
server).

3. Run: "clouscape -isql" (to run text based sql
interface.

4. create the table writing tha sql instruction:
   ie:
   "create table client
    (name varchar(15));".


Notice: the " character is only for explanation, do
not include in the instructions.

I used this and it worked, i hope the same for you.

you donīt have to install cloudview, it is included
with j2ee.

for more information you could go to cloudview.com or
go to www.wrox.com and search information about the
corrections about the book.

Best regards,

German
