Description
Since m92, OpenOffice.org is able to edit the types of existing table
fields HSQLDB databases.
That is, if you create a new HSQLDB database, a table therein, and
then choose to change the definition of that table, it was previously
not possible to change the type/characteristics of existing columns in
the table.
Technically, this new behaviour is an enhancement, since it introduces
new functionality for this particular database type. To the user, it's
the fix for a bug (which in fact has been reported several times in
the Beta test), since s/he expects from OOo's pet database HSQLDB to
offer the most basic "rapid database design" functionality.
