Chapter 7: Databases and Data Sources

2. The Form Filter toolbar opens, as does a blank copy of the form. Enter a date in the

Start Date field.

3. Click the Apply Form-Based Filter button.

The form is now filtered based on the data entered.

A filter can be removed by clicking the Remove Filter/Sort button.

Please see the section “Searching With a Form Filter” below for further information.

Note: The rest of this chapter, though originally written for versions prior to OpenOffice.org 2.x, has been verified

and updated.

Registering a Data Source

When creating a database, OpenOffice.org allows the creator to register the database with the

currently running copy of OpenOffice.org To register a data source for viewing and/or editing

in OpenOffice.org at a later time (or after copying the database to a new computer):

1. Select Tools > Options. This command opens the Options dialog.

2. In the category list at the left of the dialog, expand OpenOffice.org Base then click

Databases.

3. Click New. The Create Database Link dialog opens.

4. Click Browse. The Open dialog is displayed.

5. Navigate to the location of the database, select the database and click Open.

6. If desired, change the Registered name of the database.

7. Click OK. The Create Database Link dialog closes.

8. Click OK. The Options dialog closes.

Connecting to other types of databases

The Database Wizard also allows one to link to other types of data sources rather than

creating a new database.

NOTE for 2.0 dBase users: To open a connection to a dBase database, one must select the "Connect to an existing

database" radio button and choose "dBase" from the drop-down list box. This should work even if one never had

any dBase installed on the computer, because a basic dBase functionality is built in to %PRODUCTNAME.

However, the controls should be renamed to give a better understanding. I would suggest "Connect to or open

another data source", and rename the first control to "Create a new HSQLDB database". Changed this issue to be

an enhancement request for an UI change in the dialog.

To create a database that links to external data source:

1. In any OpenOffice.org window, click File > New > Database.

2. Set the What do you want to do? option to Connect to an existing database.
