            Bug ID: 139538
           Summary: Cannot load HsqlDB other than 1.8.0
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3 all versions
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Hi,

On LibreOffice (6.x and 7.x and maybe even 5.x) under Linux, if you have
installed the package: libreoffice-sdbc-hsqldb (which installs
libhsqldb1.8.0-java), then it is impossible to load a hsqldb.jar driver other
than version 1.8.0.

How to reproduce:

- Install the extension HsqlDBDriverOOo from the download link:
https://github.com/prrvchr/HsqlDBDriverOOo/releases/download/v0.0.3/HsqlDBDriverOOo.oxt

Go to: Tools -> Options -> Base drivers -> HsqlDB driver, and see the driver
version:

- If packages: libreoffice-sdbc-hsqldb and libhsqldb1.8.0-java are installed,
version displays 1.8.0.

- If the packages: libreoffice-sdbc-hsqldb and libhsqldb1.8.0-java are not
installed, version displays 2.5.1 which is the version of the hsqldb.jar file
supplied with the extension.

To work around this problem, I wrote another extension HsqlDBembeddedOOo,
available on this link:
https://github.com/prrvchr/HsqlDBembeddedOOo/releases/download/v0.0.3/HsqlDBembeddedOOo.oxt,
allowing LibreOffice users on Linux to use the HsqlDB Embedded functionality
and a newer version of the HsqlDB driver simultaneously.

OpenOffice and LibreOffice on Windows do not seem to be affected by this
malfunction.
