be aware that LibreOffice-4.2 has started a transition to using an embedded Firebird engine
<https://www.libreoffice.org/download/4-2-new-features-and-fixes/> <http://en.libreofficeforum.org/node/6062> NEW TECHNOLOGY PREVIEW FEATURE: Firebird SQL connector for LibreOffice Base (Andrzej Hunt). When creating a new Database, select Firebird Embedded in the drop down menu (you have to first enable the Experimental features in Tools ▸ Options ▸ LibreOffice ▸ Advanced). This allows creation of databases that perform many times faster than the previous built-in HSQLDB 1.8, avoiding the C++-to-Java overhead inherent in using HSQLDB. We plan to phase HSQLDB out over the next few releases, and provide a smooth migration path to Firebird. I think that the new format is simply a zip wrapper around a normal Firebird database. Firebird can be accessed directly using the Qt4/5 InterBase (QIBASE) driver Other suggestions; 1. remove need for QT3SUPPORT from Kexi. 2. add a generic import filter from Firebird. 3. start to port Kexi to KF5 Regards, Treeve _______________________________________________ calligra-devel mailing list calligra-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/calligra-devel
