Chris, I'm not sure I understand your question exactly, but I'm going to take a stab at a reply. First of all, with the latest development versio of OpenOffice, you connect to an existing database, or use the embedded HSQL database. AS far as I know, connections to multiple databases in one .odb docuement is not allowed. The trick is to get the data into your database using it's import functions, and then access that database with OpenOffice. For example, I'm using MySQL and OpenOffice. If I have data in 3 CSV files that I want to access in OpenOffice, I would use the MySQL command interface to import those CSV files into my MySQL database. I could then access and manipulate that data from an OpenOffice .odb document connected to that MySQL database.
Some others on this list may have another solution. Let me know if you have other questions, and I'll try my best to help. Remember, I'm still learning this too. :] ) Landon On Sat, 29 Jan 2005 16:37:55 +0000, Chris Green <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > How can one add a new 'external' datasource to Database? > > In Writer and Calc the View menu has a Datasource entry where one can > do this but the View menu isn't similarly expanded in Database. > > -- > Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) > > "Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence." > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
