The read1st.txt state:
- Base module supports dBase, MySQL, ODBC databases.
HSQLDB not tested (requires Java).
I've used OpenOffice 3.2 with PostgreSQL 8.x (now 9.x) on eCS but had to patch odbc.dll in unixODBC 0.10.
I can't make it work with Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2 (nor 4.1.1).
I can connect with ODBC
Does Apache OpenOffice need something more/else?
