4 weeks have passed since this the initial call for support, and as you can see at http://hsqldb.sourceforge.net/web/openoffice.html, it was quite a success. Thanks to everybody who contributed! Also thanks to everybody (I know there are a lot!) who simply spread the word, reaching even more people this way. To keep you up-to-date what happened, let me tell you that significant progress has been made in the feature to change the type of an existing table column (including changing the auto increment attribute), and quite some issues have been fixed. Current work is on issue 44127 [1], which, when fixed, allows HSQLDB to use locale-specific sorting. So, let me renew the call: If you want to contribute to making OpenOffice.org's database a success, and are wondering what you can add except development, bug triaging, and documentation: the pot at http://hsqldb.sourceforge.net/web/openoffice.html is still open :) Thanks for considering Frank Schönheit [1] http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=44127 -- - Frank Schönheit, Software Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] - - Sun Microsystems, Inc. http://www.sun.com/staroffice - - OpenOffice.org Database Access http://dba.openoffice.org - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
