I am trying to connect Gnumeric to a SQLite database using Debian unstable. At http://www.gnome-db.org/apps.php it says "Gnumeric, the GNOME Spreadsheet, lets you insert data coming from a database into your sheets, by making use of the working-again GDA plugin" which sounds like what I want.
I am familiar with SQLite and Gnumeric but have never used Gnumeric with a database backend. It is not clear to me what packages to load and what to do; gnumeric-gda seems to have vanished a few years ago but the description for gnumeric-plugins-extra says it has: o The gda (Gnome Database Access) plugin o The GNOME-DB plugin which sounds promising. Then for good measure I installed gda2-sqlite, libgnomedb2-4, and mergeant. I ran mergeant and I think configured my database information. I also ran gnome-database-properties. Then in gnumeric I select a column and put in =execSQL (using "" for both username and password) and do shift-return and ... nothing. A conversation on #gnumeric led me here. What is the state of db access from Gnumeric? What steps do I need to take? I don't necessarily need to use Debian-packaged versions, though I'd prefer that; I can build cvs versions if necessary. Any help or tips appreciated. Liam _______________________________________________ gnumeric-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumeric-list
