fixed in CWS dba32g. There now is a configuration option
"/org.openoffice.Office.DataAccess/Policies/Features/Base/CreateLocalDatabase",
which is of type boolean, defaulted to "true", and controls whether the "Create
Database" wizard (started via File/New/Database) exposes the "Create a new
database" option.

In Basic, do:
  databaseContext = createUnoService( "com.sun.star.sdb.DatabaseContext" )
  databaseDocument = databaseContext.getByName( _
"file:///url/to/database/document.odb" )
  databaseContext.registerObject( "someShortName", databaseDocument )
  databaseDocument.dispose

This will present document.odb, as "someShortName", in the data source browser
(the thing you get when pressing F4 in a text or spreadsheet).

Actually, If you can tell me I can (thru a macro or config) register a data
source without having to install Base, I will consider myself very a happy man
and the trick a must have for the project.

Pong. And sorry for the long delay.

Yes.

Creating a small macro is, IMHO based on the knowledge of the needs of a large 
corporation, something only a very few number of individuals can think about, 
and requires hacker-like OpenOffice.org knowledge.

As for users creating home-based applications in Base, and bringing it back to 
office, that is something we admitedly can't prevent, but should be reinforced 
by the corporation security team.

Fine-grained control as mencioned above is an interesting approach.

But what about writing a small macro which creates the DB? What about creating
the DB at home, and opening it at work? Do you say all of this is negligible? In
this case, a configuration entry controlling the existence of the first entry
would indeed be sufficient (though easily to overcome by experienced users). 
Yes?

Pong.
Your questions are valid. Simply removing the creation of a local database does
not prevent users to connect to existing databases.

It may sound evil, but the objective is to make user life (i.e. create
uncontrolled data-marts) much more hard, so that he will have to ask for
Service-desk assistance (and justify business need) or give up.

So far there is no way as you correctly point, to prevent a skilled user to
overcome such limitations.

However, in many corporations, installing new, non-approved softwares are
expressly forbiden, and available only to very few individuals, with specific,
documented business needs.

Ping. I don't see that this request for enhancement is sufficiently specified
(see my questions above). This issue cannot be worked at unless there is a
common understanding what exactly it requests.

Thinking more about it, the requirement becomes somewhat unclear to me ...

I understand that creating a DB doc with embedded HSQLDB is to be prevented.
However, what about other database types? What about dBase? Users can always
create a dBase DB, by choosing "Connect to an existing database" in the "New
Database Wizard". According to what you wrote above, this should also fit into
the "undesired" category.

However, it doesn't end there. People could download, say, HSQLDB or Derby, and
use it via JDBC. Again, this would lead to a local, non-IT-controlled, database.

Also, removing the option from the UI does not really help too much. That is,
users could write a small macro which creates the respective database
programmatically.

So, to me it sounds as what you require is much more than just removing the
first option in the "New Database Wizard". Don't you think?

I tend to think that what you really need is disabling database types on a
per-type basis (e.g. "no embedded HSLQDB"), no matter whether those files are
newly created per UI or programmatically, or whether they're even just
"File/Open"ed (because somebody created them at home).

Perhaps, this boils down to even more fine grained control, like: "Forbid
connections to the following URI patterns: 'sdbc:embed:hsqldb', 'jdbc:*', but
allow the patterns 'jdbc:mysql:*'".

Countless questions ...
