A long unresolved problem with OpenOffice.org base was its
inability to link to more than one external database at a time.
See: http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42464
It is for this reason (needing to link to more than one table) that
I have had to use base's internal HQLDB database.
I don't understand your reasoning. The issue is about connecting to
two different databases with the same odb-document. For example
connecting to MySQL and PostgreSQL at the same time. That has
nothing to do with more than one table. You can have as much tables
in a database as you need.
What is your problem and in which way does the internal HSQLDB helps
you?
My problem was that if I had tables in different files
?? What kind of file? A database is not a file, but normally has a lot
of files.
, even if they
used the same database structure
?? 'database structure'. Which database you tried to use?
, then base could not link to more than
one of them. This seems to be a facility that various people need.
Not really. You are usually not running two databases. I guess, that
there is an error in how you have organized your data.
It might be a solution for me if I could have several tables in the same
file provided that I could manipulate them from base rather than having
to use a separate database programme. If this is possible, are there
some instructions somewhere as to how to extract the data to a separate
file?
Extracting to a file depends on the database engine.
Before someone can help you, you need to describe what database kind you
use at all. A database with own database management like MySQL or
DBase-tables or ...?
Kind regards
