There's also an OpenOffice driver for PG
(http://dba.openoffice.org/drivers/postgresql/index.html). Its still alpha
quality but it works quite well. Hopefully, enough people will try it and
give feedback to enable it become part of the next OO release.

Hi,

Was fooling around a bit and managed to get OpenOffice.org 1.1 and
PostgreSQL to talk to each other. Have documented my experiences in a
small HOWTO kind of document.

If you're interested in reading it the Linuxdoc SGML source is
available at:

http://kandalaya.org/download/oo-pgsql.sgml

A single-page HTML conversion is also available at the same place for
online reading:

http://kandalaya.org/download/oo-pgsql.html

Feedback welcome.

Regards,

Nice article.

What I liked most with OOo is the ability to quiqly dessign Forms to
enter Data. Take a look at AutoPilot->Forms. You can even design embeded
forms ( Forms which disply Data from different tables). There are some
usfull articles abaut that on the OOo-db project site.

There's also an (experimental) direct access driver available from the URL
below. Saves all the messing with ODBC
http://dba.openoffice.org/drivers/postgresql/

Seems to work OK for the few small cases I've used it.
