------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Feb 4 03:49:08 -0800 2005 ------- - File|New|Database - "Connect to an existing database" / "Database type" = "JDBC" - "Next" - enter some valid driver class, and some valid Datasource URL (including the "jdbc:" prefix) *valid* means: enter settings which would allow you a connection to a running database - "Next" - "Test connection" => error message "Bad connection URL" The reason here is that the user is expected to enter a JDBC data source URL *without* the "jdbc:" prefix. This is a contradiction in terms: People who know JDBC also know that JDBC data source URLs start with "jdbc:", thus OOo should not require from them to omit this part. Things are made worse by the fact that the user does not get any hint why the connection fails - she simply enters a URL which works in all other programs, but OOo simply does not accept it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
