This would be the best solution. Changing step by step. Let us first try to get Firebird better working than HSQLDB for a normal user. Do not deprecate HSQLDB before. Test the migration. Migration has to save all: Tables, relations and views. Could be views will be saved as queries, if code is to complicated. After this is working we should set HSQLDB as deprecated. I have seen the long time for getting Firebird to work in Base - experimental since LO 4.2! We will need also time for a well working Firebird as non experimental database.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
