Various things that still need to be done in the sdbc driver (not a complete list - look at the code for more pointers):

Enable it by: Tools ▸ Options ▸ LibreOffice ▸ Advanced ▸ Enable experimental features thenįile ▸ New Database ▸ Select database ▸ Create a new database ▸ Embedded Database: Firebird Embedded TODO odb, edit the content.xml within: repalace sdbc:embedded:hsqldb with sdbc:embedded:firebird, and reopen alternatively open Tools ▸ Options ▸ LibreOffice ▸ Advanced ▸ Expert Configuration you can set /EmbeddedDatabases/DefaultEmbeddedDatabase/Value to sdbc:embedded:firebird.įirebird is still an experimental feature. To use firebird you need to create a new.

odbs are still being created with hsqldb for the moment.

Currently only implements an SDBC driver but should eventually support SDBCX too.

Supports dbs embedded in an odb and external files, will probably support remote databases.

Uses Firebird 3.0 (libfbclient and libEngine12).

SDBC driver usable but there are a few blocker bugs being worked on.

The SDBC driver store the archive format inside the odb file after saving, because this format is platform independent.It also supports external files (and will hopefully remote dbs) SDBC driver can now create, open and save.SDBC driver building against LO's firebird, or alternatively against system firebird (requires firebird-devel and fbembed packages installed, some distros may be missing the required fb_config and/or pkg-config files, if so please report that as a bug to your distro and manually add the required config variables - details are in configure.ac).Firebird building within LibreOffice, using bundled icu: building on all platforms, usable on Linux, Mac, Windows.Thanks to the OpenOffice Base form Wizard, you can have your database filled with data in no time.

And now, entering data into that database is even easier. When you are done you can close out the Base application.Ĭreating a database was never so easy. When you are done entering your data click the Save Record button. Enter your data and click the Next Record button (single right-pointing arrow near the bottom) to go to a blank form. Figure 4 shows a complete employee record form ready for work. Your form is complete and ready for data entry. Finally you have to give your form a name and tell Base if you want to either work with the form immediately or modify the form. The next screen's purpose is to set the color theme for the form. If you choose to show previous data you can select to also not allow the form to modify or delete existing data.Â Make your select(s) and click Next. You can either use the form to ONLY enter new data (which will not show previously entered data), or you can have the form show all previously entered data.

The next screen allows you to decide what data is shown when the form is used. If you do not want to include all of the fields just select the fields you do want to click the ">" button to add them. If you initially created your database exactly as you want it you most likely can just click the ">" button to move all fields in to the "Fields in the form" box. The first step in the Wizard is to select the fields you want to include. Use caution: Once this window is open you will have trouble giving focus to any other window on your screen (I use the Compiz Tab ring switcher to get out if I need).

In the smaller of the two windows (the second to open) you will begin the process of creating your form. The first window will be an empty OpenOffice window which will be followed by the wizard window (see Figure 2). Once you have the database selected click the Finish button which will open up the database to the Forms window (see Figure 1).įrom within this window you want to click the "Use Wizard to create form" link in the upper left pane. What you want to do is click "Open an existing database file" and then select the database from the drop-down. First open up OpenOffice Base which will land on the Database Wizard.
