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.
