            Bug ID: 116944
           Summary: Firebird-migration should never work automatically
           Product: LibreOffice

          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)

          Severity: normal

Seen in mailinglists there should exist an automatically migration from
internal HSQLDB-files to internal Firebird. The I wrote the following to the
global users mailnglist:

Opened the database, which is part of the Base Handbook:
"Media_without_Macros".
No comment like "Internal HSQLB" appears at the bottom of the window.
Tried to open the tablecontainer.
No table appears, but after some time the following message:

Connection to datasource "Media_without_Macros" couldn't be established.

firebird_sdbc error:
*Dynamic SQL Error
*SQL error code = -104
*Token unknown - line 1, column 163
*BLOB
caused by
'isc_dsql_prepare'

I haven't set the experimental features to "yes". I wasn't asked if I
want to change the database from HSQLDB to Firebird.

Base should never be a playground for such a function. People will loos
their data and will never again use LO after starting one database with
this automatic.

1. An automatic migration should never be installed from a working
internal database to a database, which is an "experimental feature"
(Firebird) - and never means: also never with a daily build.
2. A migration should only be offered, never automatically, when
internal Firebird database has been activated.
3. The migration should create a new database with the migrated content,
not overwrite the old database.
