Hello to all U2
I am still persevering with getting OpenOffice to work with UniVerse and
have had some success with the JDBC driver on MS Windows platform
connecting to UniVerse - this with tremendous support from Frank
Schonheit of Sun and OpenOffice.org. So now one can connect to, with a
little difficulty, and query, with a few issues still to be resolved, a
UniVerse database from within OpenOffice. Hopefully IBM, will some day
take a serious look at this project and contribute something to making
UniVerse cooperate with OpenOffice.org using ODBC/JDBC.
The problem now encountered is that connecting from OpenOffice.org
using JDBC running on a Linux platform presents the same problem as
experienced previously on MS Windows - now fixed - (whereas it did work
before at some point in the Beta releases) i.e the JDBC driver loads
successfully, and a connection to the database is established; but no
tables are "visible" and a native SQL query results in a "ResultSet Type
1,005 is not supported" - a message that one used to encounter on MS
Windows platforms before the problem was "fixed"
An issue has been reported on the OpenOffice.org Bugzilla system. But to
try and give some impetus to resolving this issue I am "soliciting" the
support of this forum to vote on this issue on the OpenOffice.org site
as well as to prevail on IBM to cooperate with OpenOffice.org to resolve
the issues with JDBC/ODBC and OpenOffice.
If you feel you can assist then please register as a user on
www.openoffice.org and vote on issue 58313 - it'll only take about 5
minutes to do so.
However, there are still a number of issues to be resolved, including
being able to update tables via JDBC ie. although one can create
UniVerse tables from within OOo you cannot insert, update or delete;
there is a date format problem - see issue 49043, table names have to be
"aliased" in the VOC etc. etc.
Here's looking forward to your support
Thanks and regards
Ian Stuart
