I have a problem similar to wht has been reported with mysql ODBC access : immediate crash of OpenOffice Base when trying to query a PostgreSQL ODBC database.
Setup : Hardy (8.04) amd64 + updates from hardy-updates and hardy-backports. OpenOffice-base is 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2, PostgreSQL is 8.3.3-0ubuntu0.8.04 (sic... that's what dpkg - reports) and odbc-postgresql is 1:08.01.0200-2.1. unixodbc is 1:08.01.0200-2.1. All of this comes clean from Ubuntu repositories. Way to reproduce : create test database (with psql or with OOo and the the SDBC driver), crete a test table. Check it with various tools (OOo + SDBC in my case), check the ODBC connection (I tested with isql and R + RODBC) : works like a charm. In OOo, create a new database file accessing the test database via the ODBC driver. runs OK, asking (correctly) for the database's password. The "Tables" views shows the "public" schema and the test table. Click on the table's name (or icon) : immediate crash. Relaunching OOo-Base leads to the "restoration of an unsaved document", which runs OK. An you're back where you started. Other symptoms : trying to create a query crashes as soon as you are trying to click on the table's name or icon. You can create a query in SQL mode, but trying to execute it crashes immediately. In short, the &[EMAIL PROTECTED] OOo-base crashes as soon as it tries to get information about a table. I have had similar symptoms with a sqlite3 database, but I concluded (erroneously ?) that this might be an ODBC driver problem (the libsqlite-odbc package seems to be a bit ancient when compared to upstream...). Now, it seems to me that the problem might lie with OOo-base (amd64) trying to access a table in the "public" schema. Attached is an ODBC trace coresponding to the following operations : - open OOo-base - connect to the database, - clicking (once) on the table name in the "tables" view.
