Bonjour,
Voici des infos concernant HSQLDB que Fred Toussi a mis en ligne hier. Il renouvelle son appel à contributions.
http://hsqldb.sourceforge.net/web/openoffice.html
Current Development Status
Update on 14 March: Funding for the last 4 weeks has been contributed. Extra funding is needed as there is still essential work to do. Work so far has resulted in RC9 with support for enforcing numeric precision and scale. Work on RC10 is in progress, with some of the "must-have" features. Several bugs have also been fixed. New "must-have" feature for sorting by language has been added to the to-do list and is under development.
Bugs are reported regularly and each takes on average a day to fix. We cannot anticipate when we get the next bug report but can spend time on more code reviews and tests to catch any remaining bugs before they are encountered by end users.
Some of the "must have" features are:
* Ability to change the type of a column.
* Ability to add or remove the auto increment attribute of a column.
* Ability to change the maximum length of a column.(Currently you can do these in HSQLDB only by editing the DB script, which is not possible when embedded inside OOo. Removing and recreating the column is an annoyance, especially with data).
Some of the "nice to have" features are:
* Fixing the remaining quirks in query processing to reduce future
version incompatibilities.
* Ability to export the data and switch to a shared, client-server
setup of HSQLDB for network-shared databases.
* Ability to share a database file between two or three users.
* Ability to convert a database from a different engine into the
HSQLDB format and seamlessly import into OOo.Some of the ingredients of these features are already in place. It simply needs some more development to integrate them and make them available as simple procedures.
