Hi folks, I have used LibreOffice base with the JDBC-connector. Install Java, and then install the required components of Jaybird (jaybird-full-3.0.5.jar, connector-api-1.5.jar, antlr4-runtime-4.7.1.jar). Jaybird can be downloaded from http://firebirdsql.org/en/jdbc-driver/. I use OpenJDK 8 for Windows from Azul systems (https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu/). It's free to download and use, compared to Oracle Java. It works well enough.
Register the .jar files in LibreOffice, Tools->Options->Advanced->Class Path and use Add archive. When setting up the Base Databse for JDBC, the following must be entered: Data source: firebirdsql://<server>//<path_to_file.fdb> JDBC driver class: org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBDriver Best regards, Peter On 09.05.2019 13:06, Dimitry Sibiryakov s...@ibphoenix.com [firebird-support] wrote: > 09.05.2019 13:03, Drew Jensen drewjensen.in...@gmail.com [firebird-support] > wrote: >> What is the reason they don't have direct connection to FB servers as an >> option? >> >> No one stepped up to write it. > It is an office packet.
