That will most likely be the case. But it makes me think about two questions: - Would this be doable with Äxl? Some ODBC-voodoo or the like? - Could the internal HSQL data be dumped out (maybe in SQL like making a complete dump of common sql server data) and pumped into a central server? Dumping an internal database would make the scenario of having one file much more interesting. I'm using a similar approach for some very heterogenous data from technical tests and sort of laboratory data. These data items are stuck into a HDF5 file (Hierarchical Data Format - work like a file system with paths, files and metadata in one file) together with metadata and parameter files so that nothing get's lost - you pack your file and go. Doing this with OO.o sounds promising.
