Description prrvchr 2020-04-17 15:03:59 UTC
I am using hsqldb 2.5.0 in the gContactOOo extension which is just a wrapper around this driver. Version 2.5.0 includes system versioning, which can facilitate write replication (only reading is implemented now)

I would like to be able to better integrate hsqldb in Base, like:
User Management, management of tables, views ... in short all the high level components sdbcx...

But I am faced with problems that exceed my skills, and realize that it will be difficult to progress if I do not find help ...

One of my first problem is having an error: "java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError" when executing executeQuery() on a PreparedStatement
The workaround for this problem is to replace executeQuery() with execute() and return the result by getResultSet()

But in fact I realize that I have this error on many other method of a PreparedStatement (setBoolean(), setString()...) and having not found a workaround I am stuck...

Thanks for any help.

LO includes HSQLDB 1.8.

Some people wanted to upgrade HSQLDB others wanted to get rid of Java so replacing HSQLDB (which is Java dependent) by Firebird.
Today, we're in the middle of the bridge. Firebird has been integrated but some features have not been implemented in LO and there are bugs waiting on bugtrackers.
There are few commits about Base because there are very few devs.
The only person I know who may help is Lionel Elie Mamane but he's on other things and don't think he'll invest some time on it. However, you can try to ping him.
Finally you must take into account that existing odbs with 1.8 version should continue to work even after the migration to new version of HSQLDB.

Let's put this one to ENHANCEMENT meanwhile but I'd hesitate to put this one as a dup of tdf#34411

what do you mean by, how I do?

The easiest way is to offer the 1.8.x driver as an extension...

Don't know if this one has anything to do with bug 34411. Bug 34411 is about using internal and external databases in different HSQLDB-versions.

If I understand the description the right way there are problems while connecting from Base to external HSQLDB. 

But I don't know what a driver for a GoogleContact integration has to do with a connection from HSQLDB 2.5.0. Isn't there a original JDBC-driver available for HSQLDB 2.5.0?

I can't judge here but before telling this you should begin from start.
First step: retrieve LO code then try to build it.

gContactOOo is just a personal project which forced me to use hsqldb 2.5.0.
The goal is to use LibreOffice as billing or correspondence tools, namely to be able to send emails coming from the fusion of documents with your Android phone's addresses.

Surely and maybe this one too 125618

I take note, but it will take me a little time, I must change my laptop ... can not compile on this one ...

If I use the openjdk-11-jre-headless for amd64 version (in place of Oracle JRE 1.8.0_201), the problem is the same, but the error message changes:

> uno.com.sun.star.sdbc.SQLException:

> the interface java.sql.CallableStatement defining the method to be called
> (org.hsqldb.jdbc.JDBCPreparedStatement is in unnamed module of loader

> (org.hsqldb.jdbc.JDBCPreparedStatement is in unnamed module of loader

Maybe this message will seem more explicit to someone?

Hi all,

I finally managed to solve these problems:

- HsqlDB is now usable in Base with the latest version 2.5.1 (or any other version) and we can even see the HsqlDB users in Base -> Tools -> User administration ... (read only for the moment) with the HsqlDBDriverOOo extension (see bug 139538 for more details)

- "java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError" error has been fixed by replacing connection.prepareStatement() by connection.prepareCall() (if you claim a com.sun.star.sdbc.PreparedStatement I return a com.sun.star.sdbc.CallableStatement ...), because who can more can less... but this is a workaround and I still can't explain what is going on.

Voila...
