You need to create an alias for the CASTed field. If you use this statement
instead, it should work :
SELECT CAST('2001-01-01' as DATE) as 'MyDate' from 'testdb'.'i115436'

Re: [dba-dev] Re: CAST() no longer working with OOO 330m16
Fernand, Well I also use EXTRACT(), but have found that I still have to CAST the type. If I just use the DATE/TIME functions on their own, the results are inconsistent across the months, especially when adding or subtracting. I haven't kept any of my old queries that did direct application of date addition / substraction because they were of no use to me, so I rewrote them all with CAST and EXTRACT. An example of a current one that works is given below : SELECT CAST(EXTRACT(YEAR FROM CURDATE()) as SIGNED)-CAST(EXTRACT(YEAR FROM Date1) as SIGNED)+1 as 'Renewal Num' FROM mybase where MONTH(Date1) = 12 I do not consider this to be an optimised way of obtaining the result I wanted, but I found it to be the only way that worked reliably for each month of the year, independently of the date provided by CURRENT_DATE. In a more simplified expression, the results were wrong by +/- 1 dependent on the MONTH given and the date provided by CURRENT_DATE. It may be that the underlying cause to this is a problem with date handling by Mysql, and not OOo at all, but I haven't checked this out.

Re: [dba-dev] Failures saving data to MySQL tables from OOo form
Bob Kline a écrit : Hi Bob, I'm having a number of problems with getting OpenOffice's Base to do the right thing with this table, but the most frustrating is that when I create a form based on the table, then go to insert a new row using that form, I get an error message complaining that the Amount column cannot be NULL, even though I'm entering a value for that column. This problem is occurring regardless of OOo version or client platform (e.g., OOo 2.3 on Ubuntu Gutsy, or OOo 2.0 on Windows NT). I'm telling OOo that the database is MySQL and I'm connecting over ODBC. So the problem might lie with the ODBC driver version :-) You don't tell us which one you are using, and it does make a difference. I have not found an ODBC driver version provided by MySQL thus far that does not have some form of functional limitation when working with OOo. I can only hope that things will improve now that both products have developers under the same mothership roof :-)) Additionally, the Ubuntu versions of OOo are notoriously buggy, and unfortunately I have found that most of my problems have occurred when using the Base module (although there are quite a few in the Writer module too). I can't speak for the Windows versions per se, but the 2.0 version was also notoriously buggy in certain key areas of Base. The other problems might be clues to what's causing the first problem, or they may be unrelated (by improbable coincidence). In the 2.3 OOo on Ubuntu, when I invoke the form wizard, the list of fields offered for inclusion on the form omits the Amount column (but the form wizard in OOo 2.0 on WinNT includes it). Also, both installations show the Amount column as "Text (fix) [ char ]" when I bring up Edit on the table definition, and trying to correct that doesn't stick (next time I open the Editing windows on the table definition, my Decimal 10, 2 is gone, and it's back to "Text (fix) [ char ]"). Is this a known bug (or bugs)? I seem to recall that this is a known MySQL ODBC driver bug and incompatibilty between server version 5.0.x and the driver (datatype mapping problem). http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1438002 http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=11795 http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=11035 If not, I'll be happy to help track it down with whatever sleuthing I can perform on my end. I have addressed my own needs satisfactorily by moving the data into PostgreSQL, with which OOo does not appear to have the problems described above Even postgresql isn't perfect, but at least the bugs appear to be consistent across driver versions, and working with postgresql and OOo has improved greatly over the years. , so my interest in pursuing this just is to improve OOo. Since OOo works with PostgreSQL, and since I can successfully retrieve and manipulate the data in the MySQL table using the MySQL ODBC driver, I assume this is one of those problems which arises from defects in the way the two packages (OOo base and the ODBC driver) interact with each other. Apparently, the solution is to use the latest MyODBC driver, well at least the 3.51.12 version. Alex - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you, like many of us, use OOo in production and need to rely on data safety as much as is humanly possible with the current release, then upgrade to 2.2.1 and wait for 2.3 to be declared stable. I test the dev builds alongside the stable releases, simply because I, like you, can't afford to have production data mangled by an app, and because I have a pool of heterogeneous OS running OOo at work (Linux, Mac, FreeBSD and the occasional Windows). We mainly have Kubuntu workstations, and they use the Kubuntu package prepared by that dev group (with all its faults and bugs, some of them very annoying to me, but my staff seem to get by). My problem is not of having the latest whingdiz features, but having an office suite that is overall stable (i.e. every module we use at work) and doesn't lose or reformat your data in unexpected ways (to the extent that such is possible with any software program :-) ) Alex - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Tell me about it :-( This problem has existed for as long as I can recall, irrespective of the db. I've had this with DBFs, mysql, HSQLDB, so the problem is definitely with OOo or the way that it executes the search function. The DBF that I used to use for my addressbook/contacts was originally created in Lotus Approach. I then migrated it to StarOffice and from there to OOo, so it's roughly about 10 years old. It hasn't been fed with data for a while because I switched to mysql about 5 years ago. We have a similar issue with another db in which the users are currently forced to filter their data in order to get acceptable performance, but as you said, this then forbids any browsing outside of the filtered resultset, which is something they could do with their previous db, a MacOS FileMaker Pro db. > > If I use the standard filter this time drops to under 2 seconds.

Usually what happens is that a timeout situation is reached, which cause Base to hang. This situation was present even in the pre-Base versions of OOo, i.e. in the 1.x series. OOo seems to have problems caching hostnames, rather than IP addresses. If you know the IP address, I have found, as you did, that things work much better.

[dba-dev] Base and sucessive installs of OOo
Hi all, There is a very annoying, hmmm, well, I suppose you could call it a feature, but I call it a bug ;-) when you install or upgrade OOo over a previous installation. This bug is that if you agree to having your data copied over (as do most sane people who've carried out personal configuration of their OOo environment), then the "copy over" routine automatically recreates ODB files corresponding to the datasources that were already declared. If these datasources already existed as ODB files, then the copies take the same name as the original and an incremented number is appended to the file name. All of these files get created in the user's home directory on a Linux box, and just keep on cluttering up the directory, especially since, once copied, they become utterly useless. Is there no way to stop this (mis)behaviour ? I checked one of my Linux boxes used for testing dev versions and stable versions of OOo (same user), and it had 15 different Cabinet*.odb files. Having to plough through the list to find which one was actually the one that functioned was particularly irksome and time wasting. It wouldn't be so bad if the user was told with a message which of his newly created copies would actually work. Surely, this feature ;-) can be turned off somehow ? Maybe an issue has been filed for this already ? Alex - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Significant assistance from the Sun Derby team, including migration and tools, is not at all out of the question. So what are the reasons not to switch? What's the costs? Well that is what we would say in French is a "pavé dans la mare", or a "brick in the millpond" for wont of a better expression. Funnily enough, your very question was asked I guess about 18 months ago on this same list, but of course at the time Sun wasn't, or had only just, become involved in Derby/Apache (I don't remember the exact dates, just that someone on this list came up with that question). Not that I can speak for Frank, but personally this question comes as no surprise to me (and I doubt that it does to Frank either, it was just a matter of time before it came up). To be honest, I am neutral when it comes to selecting any particular Java based db solution, since I still believe that making OOo more and more Java dependent for what I consider to be core functionality is not the way to go, but that is a whole different discussion which we've had out here and elsewhere before, so I'll not go into that again ;-) The question is : does/can OOo support another Java based db all-in-one file solution, since that is what I believe Derby is alleged to be. If the resources are there, why not ? Personally, I'd rather see them allocated elsewhere (SQLite anybody ?, mysql all-in-one ?), but then hey, I still haven't been weened off MySQL yet ;-) Alex - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Probably those who have an in depth knowledge of the framework API, since AFAIK the PDF rendering has to first go through the stage of constructing an OOo document. This means that if you were to use OOo Basic to port PDF::ReportWriter, you would have to translate the functions to their equivalents in a Writer / Calc / Impress document (probably I guess with Writer, since it has more advanced formatting options, although a Draw document might work). Then you could use the relevant API to convert to PDF, although I'm pretty certain at the moment that the attributes, properties and methods to do this are far less replete than with other PDF generation modules available in other scripting / programming languages (e.g. PHP, Perl, Python etc).

On my MDK 10.1 box, I can access my MySQL databases both locally and remote via MyODBC and OOo, and on the whole it is pretty good.
