We currently supply standard, generic connectivity in the form of jdbc and odbc. These options will accommodate MANY databases. And, we also supply some "native" connectivity options (another area I think needs further investigative by the way). So, my initial question still stands -- what is this code used for? Is this the only way ADABAS users can use OpenOffice? Should whatever connectivity this provides be offloaded to an extension instead, for example. Or, is this just an historic holdover that doesn't serve a core purpose at the moment. > Use Google, it is your friend. ;-) > ...most of the time :) > > Best regards, > FC > > FC > > > -- > During times of Universal Deceit, telling the truth becomes a > revolutionary act > Durante épocas de Engaño Universal, decir la verdad se convierte en un > Acto Revolucionario > - George Orwell > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > > -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK "Achieving happiness requires the right combination of Zen and Zin."
