I agree with everything you have written, except that, by default, if you use the wizard to create a "standard" (and I use that term very loosely) ODB file, LO creates an ODB file which embeds its own hsqldb-compatible data into the file and then uses the LO-shipped hsqldb.jar to be the db engine. This is where it gets confusing for people wanting to split out their data from their forms, queries, reports, etc. Alex -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
