Hello Lubo, please note that I answer your mail in dev@dba.openoffice.org, our project's development mailing list. Using this list is a matter of scaling, since more people can potentially join - and benefit from - the discussion. Please also reply to this list - thanks.
See http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Base_Mailing_List for how to read/write this list (the site talks about [EMAIL PROTECTED], but everything also applies to [EMAIL PROTECTED]). > This is a student from University of bath in UK, i am > currently doing a project about open office database, my and my > supervise would like to implements a web interface for openoffice > database, basically, the project is provides a web interface for > database, which will has the function that the same as openoffice > Base provides.

Would you tell > us how we can read the file, and where we can find more information > about the file structure. An .odb file is a ZIP-compressed file, so you first need to unzip it. Then, you should find a number of .xml files which you can read with any text editor. Additionally, for embedded databases, the actual data is contained in a sub folder called "database". The files therein comprise a HSQLDB database - after renaming, you should be able to access them with any halfway recent HSQLDB version.
