------- Additional comments from roh...@openoffice.org Mon Nov 15 09:05:14 +0000 2010 ------- When I export a database with SCRIPT to get the SQL I get SQL without semicolons at the end of each SQL statement. This is VERY CRITICAL due to two reasons: 1. It makes sure that the SQL won't work with most other databases. One of the nice things with SQL is that it's "relatively" portable and usually only need few edits to actually work in other databases. 2. This renders invalid SQL. An SQL statement followed by more statements must end with an semicolon, since it's otherwise impossible for a parser to see the difference between multiline sql containing combined sql statements. 3. Come on guys, you're not Microsoft, and today even they to a better work at compatible, even though they still have a lot of legacy. A little snippet of an export: INSERT INTO "postnumre" VALUES('0899','Kommuneservice') INSERT INTO "postnumre" VALUES('0900','K\u00f8benhavn C') INSERT INTO "postnumre" VALUES('0910','K\u00f8benhavn C') INSERT INTO "postnumre" VALUES('0929','K\u00f8benhavn C') INSERT INTO "postnumre" VALUES('0999','K\u00f8benhavn C') --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
