Re: [dba-dev] OOo driver for Embedded Data
Hi Andrew, Are there currently any plans to implement either a JDBC or ODBC driver for access to the data in an Embedded database file? No, there aren't. I suppose a JDBC driver wouldn't be too difficult. The existing HSQLDB JDBC driver supports an abstract API for file access, and when you implement this API so that it accesses the sub streams in an .odb file, you're done. In fact, this is exactly the way how OOo itself handles it, except that the implementation of the file access API is done in C++. An ODBC driver would basically require an ODBC driver for HSQLDB, which sounds like an ambitious task. Since you're asking for it :), I would like to point you to http://dba.openoffice.org/miscellaneous/developer_projects.html. While this page is not completely up-to-date (I have to find some time to refresh it), the most interesting part there, which has been asked for relatively often, is Embed SQLite into OOo database files. Maybe you want to have a look at it?

Re: [dba-dev] OOo driver for Embedded Data
Frank Sorry, if some of my questions are rather sophmoric, but I still don't have a great feeling for exactly what the direction the Base application is taking. MAYBE I was asking for it...a little. I have been busy reading easy stuff ..The requirments specifications on the dba project page..and that small Developers Guide I got with the SDK..and mail archives. Regarding the open projects, I already read the posting. The User Administration task has a certain appeal to me..but I will not have much time to devote between now and Octoboer. After that perhaps..*laughing*..how is that for non-committal.

[dba-dev] OOo driver for Embedded Data
This is a similar question to one posed earlier regarding Crystal Reports but in broader terms. Are there currently any plans to implement either a JDBC or ODBC driver for access to the data in an Embedded database file?
