Hi Jason, > I would like to know where I can get the OPEN OFFICE DOCUMENT specification > for the OpenOffice.org's *.odb file format.
The .odb file format is not (yet) standardized at OASIS. When it finally will be, there will probably be some differences to the current XML schema, to accomodate for other desktop database applications' needs. For now, you could unzip the .odb file (it's a zip file as all Open Document formats are). You'll find some XML files, plus a sub folder "database". The actual data is contained in this folder, and will not be part of an OASIS specification, as it's a highly database-engine-dependent format. In particular, since OOo Base is using HSQLDB (an open source Java database) as default database backend, it's in HSQLDB's own format.
