Hi Anthony,
did you try the postgresql driver
http://dba.openoffice.org/drivers/postgresql/index.html?
Yes. There were no errors reported during the installation. Still, the
driver did not show as a choice when creating a new database.
I went through this in early Oct and finally got it working. The down
side is I can't remember the steps I used and after not really liking
the _way_ Base felt I didn't write them down.
I use this driver with OOo 2.0.x under both Linux and Windows, but I
prefer to install the driver using the package management dialog in OOo,
accessed via "Tools - Package Manager", rather than the command line
method described (for Linux) on the web page. You need to restart OOo
afterwards, which on Windows systems requires closing the QuickStarter
as well as all running OOo apps, then start OOo again.
After that, you should see "postgres" as an option in the list of
databases types. Also, if you want to install the driver for use by all
users on your system then you need to install the driver as the root
user on Linux/Unix, or (I assume) as Administrator on Windows.
For me, apart from a few problems, this driver has been less
problematical in my experience than using the JDBC driver from
PostgreSQL.org.
