Hi there,
since today there are a few new snippets for Base available on:
<<http://codesnippets.services.openoffice.org/Database/ooRexx.xml>>.
They are written in ooRexx (http://www.ooRexx.org) which means that the
code looks like pseudo-code, allowing to see/learn what logic one needs
to apply (service/interface objects, setting which properties/attributes
to which value).
This way anyone with a need/preference for another language should be
able to transfer the knowledge embedded in those nutshell examples.
Please be aware that the ooRexx code contains the links to the
respective UNO IDL documentation which also will reveal the fully
qualified name of the UNO classes (which one usually can forgo in ooRexx).
[The only thing one may need to know to understand the examples in full
is the "~" operator, which is the ooRexx message operator: the name
right of it denotes a message that gets send to the object left of it;
in the case of an interface name the appropriate interface object will
be queried.]
These nutshell examples stem from the following work of a student,
Stefan Schmid, (PDF-book, archive with all samples), which also may
serve as a nice introduction into OOo Base and interfacing with it:
