I'll save my breath and do it now =:-D
Mac OS X 10.2.4, Apple JDK 1.4, PostgreSQL 7.3.x
In the "tools" menu set up the datasource connection just like any other
JDBC connection: org.postgresql.Driver, jdbc:postgresql..... etc
click on apply then close the dialog
Put the postgresql.jar somewhere the JDK can find it
(/System/Library/Java/Extensions may work, the machine is 11km from
here...) or if you are running postgreSQL on the local machine point to
that .jar (this is how my home server is set up).
In the OOo "Options..." menu open "Security" and at the bottom insert
the path to the JDBC .jar
Put this javarc in <path to OOo>/user/config

Quit OOo and restart - if all goes well when you open your data source
connection you will see the tables of your chosen database.
If this doesn't work burn candles, sacrifice goat etc...
