What version of MySQL? Are you querying a MySQL DB? I doubt it is
OpenXML, unless you are getting it from some kind of a Microsoft
product.
$ mysql-query-browser --version
Gnome mysql-query-browser 1.2.5beta
If it is truly OOXML then you get to open it with a Microsoft Product.
The first few lines of the file look like this:
---
$ head boxtypes.xls
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Workbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"
xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"
xmlns:ss="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"
xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40";>
<Worksheet ss:Name="Table1">
<Table>
---
I don't know my MS file formats, but it's XML and isn't binary, so
that lead me to believe it was OpenXML, though I may be wrong, of
course. Neither OOo or Gnumeric are willing to open it.
FYI:
$ openoffice --version
This is OpenOffice.org built with ooo-build-2.0.4.9
$ gnumeric --version
gnumeric version '1.6.3'
datadir := '/usr/share/gnumeric/1.6.3'
libdir := '/usr/lib/gnumeric/1.6.3'
Thanks!
Dusty
