===Description=== OpenOffice Base follows a component-oriented approach for enabling database access. For this, database drivers are installed in OpenOffice which provide access to a certain (class of) database(s). While at the driver level, the implementation is pretty good modularized, the UI implementation can be improved. Currently, there are a lot of places in the code with hard-coded information, such as "database X requires UI option Y". The goal of this project is to design and implement a reasonable architecture for bringing a driver to the UI. The existing implementation needs to be migrated to this new architecture. As a proof of concept, an existing currently-external driver (e.g. the native PostgreSQL driver) should be modified so that it can be deployed into an AOO installation and makes use of the features of the new architecture. * required skills C++ * useful skills: AOO's component technology (UNO), as well as AOO's configuration concepts * Contact: mailto:dev@dba.openoffice.org * estimated effort: 2 months * difficulty: high [[Category:Database]][[Category:To-Do]]
