--- Comment #18 from jcs...@libreoffice.org --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #17) > Sounds like a discussion of many different topics. May be two topics, create a new firebird database and connect to a existing database, but not easy to split because currently both are in the same place in the wizard (and split them into two different options is what I'm asking > Regarding the creation of a new external db, the question is whether we have > to support other formats as well in this case. Dbase, PostgreSQL might be > feasible but how about Calc or Text? We don´t have to support any *new* format, we are *already* supporting it, we can create a firebird external database and we can connect to a firebird external database. The discussion is about where should be the options to do it. Now are both in *connect* to a database, also create a new database is under *connect* > If we create external DB, I would expect it to happen at the first step, > like Robert commented in #2 (dropdown with "Firebird embedded", "FB > external", "Dbase"...) . The details could be entered at the second wizard > step, similar to some connections to existing DB. I agree, that's what I'm requesting. > > Alternatively, taking the "Create New" button from the second step in case > of FB into the wizard's first step next to the dropdown of "Connect to > existing DB", requires the button to be disabled for all other types. Or to > create most other types of DB as well. No, I think it is not necessary modify anything, just hidden the button, like it is done, for example, in the connection to a PostgeSQL direct connection. Although I think that if we are working on firebird, and may be in a future it could be the default database, we should modify the wizard to allow the different connections to firebird in one place like it is done with mysql -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
