From: Joerg Budischewski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi,
I'd like to announce the availability of a native postgresql driver version 0.5.0 for OpenOffice.org database API. The driver's homepage can be found here: http://dba.openoffice.org/drivers/postgresql/index.html The postgresql SDBC Driver allows to use the postgresql database from OpenOffice.org without any other wrapper layer such as odbc or jdbc. The driver is in a alpha state, the main purpose of this version is to collect input from the community about the most needed missing features. Treat this driver with care, it is not thouroughly tested yet and might (in the worst case) destroy your data. If you just want a driver, that just works, you should wait some more time. On the other hand, you have the chance to have some influence on the current development, so that a final driver may support the features you need. The driver is aimed only at the 1.1 OpenOffice.org versions, it may be used without GUI support also in the 1.0.x version (though this is not tested yet). I The final aim is to have an easier to use, faster, more feature rich database driver than the jdbc-odbc solution. The current version does not meet all these aims yet. Please have a look at the open questions paragraph, if you are interested in how you can help. Have fun, Joerg ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
