Hello Stuart,
can't remmeber having got the email you cited, sorry for not answering
if I indeed overlooked it.
Also, please note I'm sending this mail to [email protected], for
reasons of scaling (more people can read and learn if we discuss things
in public instead of privatemails). See
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Base_Mailing_List for how to
use this list, please.
Do you know if base supports "regular expression" queries?
What do you mean with "regular expression queries"? Comparing field
content against a regular expression?
In general, the answer depends on the database you're using with Base.
Assuming HSQLDB, I can say there is no built-in support for such a
functionality in HSQLDB, but it should be possible to create a function
for this, and make HSQLDB using it.
you forgot to add: you MUST KNOW programming in Java to do so: stored
procedures and triggers must be Java methods...
Poor the common user with no (Java) programming knowledge at all!
We can not ask the user to learn Java just to create a stored procedure,
even a user knowing SQL is something strange!!
I think this a point against HSQLDB, other Java-RDBMS like Apache Derby
supports SQL for this (like most serious RDBMS) !!! Lucky us there is a
plan to embedded also Derby (is it planned?)
Bye, Ariel.
