Hello Frank, et al,

Thanks for the feed back, with yours I now have a total of...1..LOL

Your timing however was perfect. In keeping with the XP paradigm today was
spent refactoring - getting rid of globals, some new controls blocks, better
error traps, literals to constants, etc - in short turning that jumble into
production quality code - if one can call a script such a thing.

Using the connection instead of the datasource for the table and query
information worked out quite well - thanks.

Anyway, next sprint will be this weekend to add query support and one more
feature. Column names as first row in export file, as an option. My value
added feature to the SELECT INTO functionality delivered by HSQLDB.

I'll let folks know when this has been uploaded.

Quite cool.

For completeness, I suggest not using the ds.Tables object, since this
are table UI information. It might happen that this contains more tables
than actually are present in the DB. Use the connection's Tables object
instead, as this reflects the actual tables.

Would be diffifult to find other ones which are supported, since this
depends on the JVM in which HSQL is running. See
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/nio/charset/Charset.html
for details.

Interesting to know, thanks for the hint :)

Ciao
