------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Mar 19 12:35:26 -0800 2005 ------- During the process of setting up a connection to an existing JDBC database, at step 2: Set up JDBC connection, when entering the datasource URL there is no instructions given to the user that the "jdbc:" part of the URL should not be entered. For e.g. in my case I was entering a full URL like this: jdbc:hsqldb:file:c://database However, this produced a connection error. After some significant time of seeking a solution I finally realised that the way OOo expects the URL to be entered is like this: hsqldb:file:c://database There is, to my knowledge, no explanation of this required in any OOo docs. The URL above is not strictly speaking the datasource URL as appears in most JDBC databases' documentation. OOo does not make it clear that the "jdbc:" part of the URL is not required. I suggest either the full URL including "jdbc:" be required to be entered or else the "jdbc:" part be displayed in a non-editable text box before the remainder of the URL is to be entered to alert the user that this part of the URL is already anticipated by OOo for JDBC databases. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
