Thank you. I'll do that when I start a new thread. > > Quite :-) we'd strongly prefer a unit-test-like test harness such as we > have in sc/qa/unit/ (and CppUnit makefiles in the toplevel). That's good. The cppunit infrastructure is the one I feel most ready to start looking at. At risk of getting ahead of myself, let me ask ... Does this imply that a failed test breaks the build? It is of course a good thing that tests should be executed frequently, but there are many things outside of LibreOffice itself that can go wrong; indeed, the database can be half a world away. Consider a local database for which the required server job is not running.

A bunch of Google hits keep leading back to <http://www.ch-werner.de>. The licence is "BSD-type", whatever that means, and it has been tested on WinNT/2000 and Linux. "Documentation/How Tos/Using SQLite With OpenOffice.org" <http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Using_SQLite_With_OpenOffice.org> references that driver, and the page has lots of detail; at first glance, nothing there contradicts what I think I already know. This is encouraging. I guess trying this might be the most useful thing I can do right now. Right? That same page mentions an experimental SDBC driver for sqlite. Perhaps somebody with more imagination than I can find a benefit in having two routes to the same database. For what little it is worth, I have seen a reference to an ODBC driver for HSQLDB, but (a) it was called "exprimental", and (b) I have not found where the driver itself is available. Of course, we *know* that HSQLDB is installed, and that makes a big difference.
