As I understand it you are the author (or one of them) of the user's
guide. There are some issues I would like to mention, which I think
would be worth to include:
- setting up a data base (I can only here refer to MySql via
ODBC). For that case there exists a document available in
the unixodbc web site. It is outdated however and refers to
1.0.x. Recent version of mysql will not work, if these
instructions are used, because there is a problem with the
driver permissions, which can only be solved by using a
macro, found in dba.openoffice.org. Besides now mysql does
not allow anonymous access anymore (at least not the Debian
version). So one has to use mysqladmin etc, see my relevant
posting in the dba mailing list.
- the connection between the dba and scal documents. Maybe I
am overestimate the amount of users, but for me it seems a
lot of users have used scal documents before see the
limitations and give a data base a try, for these a
discussion of how to link scal to database (in both
directions) would be useful. Both directions I mean attach
(parts of) data from a scal to existing table in the
database.
I would not mind at least to write up for the first point, the
second I have not fully understood so far. (In any case I try to
write the author of the odbc OO document.)
Regards
Uwe
