--- Comment #5 from Alex Thurgood <[email protected]> --- Absent the valid points made by Lionel, with which I concur, if you want people to accept your extension more widely for testing by DB users, it would be better for it to be installable across the whole range of LO OS releases. I tried installing the jdbcDriverOOo.oxt extension in its latest available version into macOS Arm (aarch64) LibreOffice 7552. Installation of this oxt fails repeatedly with an error message: Connector : couldn't connect to pipe "922164caf3b187610ca4e955dd0f62342f58fa68a4dea863f2f26d5bb19": 10 I remember encountering this error message when I first tried to install that extension a few months ago (and gave up on). If the migration to embedded Firebird has taught us anything, it is that the whole embedded ODB container concept is relatively fragile, and it doesn't take much to upset the container, rendering one's data inaccessible or corrupt. Having multiple, potentially accessible embedded DBs would need to ensure that the container doesn't get corrupted just because a user decided to change the URL one day to a different backend embedded engine. The other issue I have is that it relies on Java. The whole point of moving to embedded Firebird (albeit admittedly with somewhat mixed results) was to reduce the dependency on Java for interacting with the database components. Why would we want to introduce another dependency on Java for a different embedded DB engine, -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
