------- Additional comments from [email protected] Thu Dec 18 14:50:31 +0000 2008 ------- Thinking more about it, the requirement becomes somewhat unclear to me ... I understand that creating a DB doc with embedded HSQLDB is to be prevented. However, what about other database types? What about dBase? Users can always create a dBase DB, by choosing "Connect to an existing database" in the "New Database Wizard". According to what you wrote above, this should also fit into the "undesired" category. However, it doesn't end there. People could download, say, HSQLDB or Derby, and use it via JDBC. Again, this would lead to a local, non-IT-controlled, database. Also, removing the option from the UI does not really help too much. That is, users could write a small macro which creates the respective database programmatically. So, to me it sounds as what you require is much more than just removing the first option in the "New Database Wizard". Don't you think? I tend to think that what you really need is disabling database types on a per-type basis (e.g. "no embedded HSLQDB"), no matter whether those files are newly created per UI or programmatically, or whether they're even just "File/Open"ed (because somebody created them at home). Perhaps, this boils down to even more fine grained control, like: "Forbid connections to the following URI patterns: 'sdbc:embed:hsqldb', 'jdbc:*', but allow the patterns 'jdbc:mysql:*'".
