[ic] Defining Product Databases in Another Location

Greetings All,

I know that this is probably a common issue, however I can not find the 
correct and full documentation that addresses just what I need.

What I am trying to do,  is operate a store using a database that is 
located in under another store in our directory structure.

For instance we have a database located at:

/var/lib/interchange/store1/products/products

Now I want to operate store number two off the same database.  I see in the 
documentation that the I need to include a path to the position in store1 
relative to the minivend (Interchange) directory.

So does that mean that I would do enter:

store1/products/products

or

/store1/products/products

Could someone give me a full example of what a product database line would 
look like.  I know that some are going to say this is documented, and I 
know it is .... to an extent.  It tells me that it needs to be relative ... 
but does not tell me how that should appear (as I asked above), also is it 
possible to use a remote source file .... or just relate to a remote 
database file.
