Base To-Do

Below is a list of Base-related projects which could be implemented by interested developers. Most of these projects are relatively self-contained, and do not require too much knowledge about AOO's code infrastructure.

Note that the actual project descriptions are not yet moved to this place here, they still reside one of the project's static pages. You're encouraged to visit this page, as it contains much more current information.

(So if you want, one of the To-Dos of our project is to move the To-Dos from https://www.openoffice.org/dba/development/projects.html to this Wiki page.)

Embed Derby into OpenOffice databases

OpenOffice Base features an abstract mechanism to embed database backend files into AOO databases (.odb). Currently, this is implemented for HSQLDB, which is used as AOO's default database engine.

To allow this feature for other engines, one must:

• virtualize the engine's file access, so that it re-routes all its file operations through an abstract API.
• implement this API on the AOO Base side

The project is to do those implementations for Apache Derby database.

• required skills Java, C++
• useful skills: AOO's database access API, AOO's component technology (UNO)
• Contact: mailto:dev@dba.openoffice.org
• effort: 2 months
• difficulty: high

Discuss Remote Operation Necessity

When File:DerbyToursDB.odb is downloaded it can be used only when saved for local access. I have not tried the external application editing option. HCPotter 09:00, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
