Alex Thurgood <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ever confirmed|0 |1 Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW --- Comment #4 from Alex Thurgood <[email protected]> --- Hi Simon I understood what you were asking, but the functionality you want is already present, albeit you have to go through an ODB file to get to it. I don't currently see that anyone will develop the functionality you are requesting: (a) would require using the sdb/sdbc APIs, which are already complex and under-developed / maintained ; (b) would require a decision on where to store the information containing the query - as LO is essentially a document-centric program, then that information would need to be stored in the Calc ODS document itself - I don't know whether the ODF specification for Calc documents currently supports the storage of such an element (although presumably it does in part due to being able to access an ODB query/table) ; (c) it would require a UI rework to bring in some of the Base UI components, e.g. - the UI connection part of the datasource creation/connection wizard ; - the Query Designer UI (d) were I a developer, I would have to ask myself why would I bother with all of the above when there is already an alternative working solution available ? None of the steps (a) to (c) are trivial undertakings. Setting as RFE, but don't get your hopes up. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
