IMO, having per-driver defaults is important. SDBC drivers that know which database they connect to (e.g. MySQL, PostgreSQL, as opposed to e.g. ODBC, JDBC, ADO) should just set the right values by default silently, and not even give the user UI to change them to known non-working values. > Additionally, skipping writing of the settings to ODB which are equal to > defaults creates another problem: an ODB only has settings which are not > equal to the defaults *of the version which was used for its last saving* - > and if opened in another version with changed defaults, the missing settings > take new default values, which may break the connection. In the context of DBMS-specific drivers, on the other hand, when the default is wrong, it allows changing the default, and fixing the connection in newer LibreOffice versions. Else, we fix it only for files created in the new LibreOffice version.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
