Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Native postgresql driver for OpenOffice.org

Hi,

I'd like to announce the availability of the version 0.6.0 of the native
postgresql driver for OpenOffice.org (see http://www.openoffice.org) for
windows and linux x86.

The driver's homepage can be found here:

http://dba.openoffice.org/drivers/postgresql/index.html

The driver allows to directly use the postgresql database from
OpenOffice.org via libpq without any other wrapper layer such as odbc or
jdbc. After installation, you can configure an postgresql database via
the Tools/Data Sources dialog and can then view data via the <F4> beamer
window.

The current version 0.6.0 contains some major improvements compared to
0.5.0, but it can still be considered to be in a alpha state. About 80 %
of the features a professional driver should have, are implemented now.
Beside the missing features, there are some known bugs. The main purpose
of this version is to collect input from the community in an early
development stage. Treat this driver with care, it is not thouroughly
tested yet and might (in the worst case) destroy your data. It should
not be used in a production environment (or it must have been
thouroughly tested for its concrete purpose before).

The driver is aimed at the 1.1 OpenOffice.org versions, it should not
work with OOo1.0.x trees. It should work with OOo2.0 developer versions,
but this has not been tested yet.

Major improvements since 0.5.0 version include:

* tables can now be dragged into a calc sheet
* structural changes to tables
* better serial data type support
* tables and views can now be distinguished via UI
* relations between tables can now be viewed and edited
* date, time and timestamp support

Have fun,

Joerg

PS: followups in dev@dba.openoffice.org
