HSQLDB Integration

This is a (more technically orientated) page about the integration of the HSQLDB engine[1] into OpenOffice.org.
Things To Do
- localize error messages (currently all hard-coded English)
- get rid of the "default_schema=true" parameter?
OpenOffice.org-specific settings
Connection settings which are currently necessary to connect to HSQLDB embedded in an OpenOffice.org database file
- storage_key: unique key which globally identifies the connection/storage
- fileaccess_class_name: Name of the class implementing the file access
- default_schema=true: lets HSQLDB behave as if it doesn't support schemas
Desired Features
- single-file
This would allow to get rid of the temporary files which are currently needed when working on the embedded HSQLDB, and thus remove some performance penalties - separation of the "auto increment" from the "primary key" concept. Currently, if you declare a column to be an auto increment column, it inevitable becomes the primary key
- editable views
Currently, if you create a view as simple asSELECT * FROM table
, this is not updateable, even iftable
itself is.
(side note: Hmm, have to check which part OOo plays here - perhaps it's OOo's fault in real?)
