There are two possibilities to manipulate data in a database with the OpenOffice.org database connectivity.

• Use the com.sun.star.sdb.RowSet service that allows using data sources defined in OpenOffice.org through their tables or queries, or through SQL commands.
• Communicate with a database directly using a Statement object.

This section describes both possibilities.
