Re: Open Office

Scott,

I faced a similar problem several weeks ago (PostgreSQL 7.2 and
OpenOffice1.0.1).

There were three step i had to arrange to access the back end.

Your situation might be different because  i use a network.
PostgreSQL and OpenOffice instances run on different hosts and i use
password authentication

1., I put the postgresql.jar in the $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext directory on all
'OpenOffice' hosts
2., I installed the OpenOffice again because java support hadn't been
installed
(click 'more' on the error message.A new panel will appear. Click on the
'Error' branch.
If you see a 'No javainstalled' message in the description then your
OpenOffice is unable to use java)
I suppose that you can modify your current installation by using the setup
of the OpenOffice.
3., I added the following line to the $PGDATA/pg_hba.conf:
host    NAME_OF_THE_DATABASE    IPADDRESS_OF_THE_OPENOFFICE_HOSTS
NETMASK_OF_THE_IP    password    NAME_OF_THE_PG_PASSWORD_FILE

the password for the username i use to connect to the backend is stored in
the $PGDATA/NAME_OF_THE_PG_PASSWORD_FILE

After re-starting the OpenOffice I was able to connect to the PostgreSQL.
