Hi Andreas,

[...] Yes, I wondered (but never investigated) why
there is a choice between odbc, jdbc and MySQL although you can connect
MySQL via j|odbc. I would have thought that case #3 does not require
j|odbc, analogue to this one:
http://dba.openoffice.org/drivers/postgresql/index.html
The postgresql SDBC Driver allows to use the postgresql database from
OpenOffice.org without any wrapper layer such as odbc or jdbc.
AKAIK it would be completely possible to develop a new sdbc driver to
connect *directly* to MySQL, just like the case you mention with
PostgreSQL, with no need to use ODBC or JDBC.
Well... now that Sun spend u$s 1 billion on MySQL I wonder if some MySQL
developers can work together with the Base team, as resources as few
(AFAIK only people working in Base are three: fs, oj, msc).
And now that we are on this subject, MySQL can also work embedded on an
application. Here "embedded" means NOT as a server.
I wonder if it could also live "embedded" inside an ODB.
If so, would it be a solution to OOoBase's performance issues?
Besides the file-format-issue (unknown to the simple user), Base's
performance issues are often blamed to the Java-nature of HSQLDB, so
would a pure C++ application have a better performance than a Java-based
one?
I tend to think this was a rhetoric question, because we all know the
answer; but I mean: if it would be possible to embedded MySQL inside ODB
and use MySQL as default engine for OOo Base, would it improve Base's
performance? Or is it still the file-format-issue the great barrier here?
[this sounds nice for another thread like "OOo Base and MySQL: is there
a future?" or the like]
Regards
Ariel.
