------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jan 18 10:35:40 -0800 2007 ------- Opening a .ods file and attempting to access the tables section pops up a username/password dialog, and upon supplying this information and clicking ok, it immediately fails with an unknown error about being unable to connect to the database, and accuses the database driver of probably being broken. Upon investigating, it turns out the real problem was that the JDBC driver class in database properties - Connection settings was blank. Restoring this (in my case to org.postgresql.Driver) then allowed the applicaition to work properly. (the driver class had been previously specified, but was apparently not saved in a prior session, which is why it was not immediately obvious that this was the problem when it occurred.) In short, a specific error message -- that a JDBC driver class needs to be specified in the database properties-connection settings -- should be generated when this is the cause of the problem. (and/or that the driver could not be loaded/misspelled/whatever, in the case when its not blank, but incorrect). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
