I'm sure you're right - we can communicate better. However, since there is
already a fix for this: us upgrading to Libreoffice 7.3 -and- this is coming in
the next months, I would prefer to avoid burning engineering time for a
temporary fix or user dialog explaining things here.

"Collabora Office is built for critical business needs and discerning users by
Collabora"

Hmmm...

One can load an existing embedded Firebird ODB, but can not now create a new
one without activating the experimental features ? 

>From a user perspective, this is not very logical given that Firebird is the
only embedded database engine that Collabora supports.

Hi Michael,

I feel that Collabora really needs to communicate better on this wrt the end
user. 

With TDF LO, the user still has the choice of embedded HSQLDB if the
experimental features are not activated. 

With Collabora Productivity, making embedded Firebird an experimental feature
again, when it wasn't in previous versions is confusing at best, especially
given that the user can still load and work with existing embedded Firebird
files in normal mode (i.e. without experimental features), just not create any
new ones.

Hi Robert; HSQLDB requires Java which is extremely problematic and expensive to
maintain. Firebird provides a solution that does not depend on Java, and as
such is much more attractive. As & when we update to base from LibreOffice 7.3
which is due later this year we should have Firebird on by default - I imagine.
HTH.

Seems a little bit confusing:
Alex wrote about any embedded database an MacOS.
Your answer is about Firebird, not about the default HSQLDB.
Why did you switch it as worksforme, while Alex still could confirm the bug
with the same version. Did you really test it with Mac OS X 11.4?

Collabora Office 21.06 is based on LibreOffice 7.1. Firebird database was
marked as experimental feature in LibreOffice 7.1. Therefore you have to enable
experimental features on Preferences - Colabora Office - Advanced tab. Then you
have Firebird.
