Hello,

Sorry for the last 'asdf' post. User error.

I want to make a database, but it has proven to be extremely
difficult. I was hoping someone could suggest alternatives to
HSQLDB. What is the simplest way I can get a usable database,
provided that HSQLDB just isn't going to work? What are the
alternatives?



Just stopped with HSQLDB, now using DBASE for a simplified flat DB, a perfect design with 1:n and n:m does not working using HSQLDB, forms are (as I see) read only.
My interrest is using the DB-Connection to read/write data in Calc (hope later to convert to HSQLDB using the DBASE content).


This approach has a big ++, it takes 1/2 hour, it works, the connection to the app too, programming proceeds

Ideally I'd like to be able to do string searches. I don't need
full SQL features. But I'd like to search, if it can be managed.

Help?

Cheers,

Things are not yet stable enough in 1.9.87 using HSQLDB. That said, I created a very simple database. I did something like the following:

Table: Addresses
Primary Key: AddressID, Integer, AutoValue, auto-increment=IDENTITY
rest of the fields

Table: Numbers
Primary Key: NumberID Integer, AutoValue, auto-increment=IDENTITY
Field: AddressID, Integer, NOT AutoValue
rest of the fields

I then manually created a form because the form wizard ALWAYS crashed.
I inserted a table in the form and added what ever fields that I wanted. I did this using the Addresses table.
I then opened the form navigator and inserted a new form.
I then selected the new form in the form navigator and inserted a new table. I did this using the numbers table.
Note: Each form is tied to a different table.
With the second form inserted, I think that I went to the data tab of the properties dialog and I tied the AddressID field together.


This provided me with linked fields that I could update and delete with no problems.
