unzip in same directory
I want to unzip two files into one directory called database. how can i do that ?

I used:
Code:
unzip filename_1.zip -d database

and
Code:
unzip filename_2.zip -d database

It is creating a database folder and inside it 2 folders filename_1 and filename_2. i want it to create the contents directly under the "database folder".
I want the contents of filename_1.zip and filename_2.zip to be directly under directory database.

You may want the option to disable relative paths (-j), if any. Create the database dir yourself and run unzip in there.
