Hi Walter, I have just tried OpenOffice against an embedded and remote server instance of Derby and I was able to modify data.
I used Derby's ToursDB sample database and I was able to modify flights information (e.g. Aircraft for flight # AA1111 changed to 'DC10'). I have verified that it got persisted by exiting OO and Derby completely and reading the table back in from OpenOffice Base... Can you check again if you can update data with an embedded instance of Derby from OpenOffice. I have used the following Derby driver class and URL based on my environment: org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver jdbc:derby:/usr/forsini/Derby/toursdb (no need to specify a user name/pwd since I wanted the default 'APP') Cheers --francois On Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 6:31 PM, Walter Rogura <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Francois, > > I receive any error from OpenOffice and the log file mentions no > problem.
