Hmm. If it's only about converting a numeric into a string - I don't think so. Besides the LocaleData thingie, you could, for instance, also use the NumberFormatter: create a NumberFormatter instance, attach the NumberFormatsSupplier obtained from a data source, and use convertStringToNumber [1]. There also is a property something (not sure if at the formatter or the supplier) specifying a locale, IIRC. > sub doUpdateValue(aRowSet as object, colnum as integer, ntype as > integer, value) > select case ntype > case com.sun.star.sdbc.DataType.BIT > aRowSet.updateBoolean(colnum, value) > case com.sun.star.sdbc.DataType.INTEGER, _ > com.sun.star.sdbc.DataType.SMALLINT, _ > com.sun.star.sdbc.DataType.TINYINT, _ > com.sun.star.sdbc.DataType.BIGINT > aRowSet.updateInt(colnum, value) > case com.sun.star.sdbc.DataType.FLOAT > aRowSet.updateFloat(colnum, value) > ... and so on and on and on ... What's wrong with updateObject?
