| |
| <p>There are several database drivers available which enable you to access certain database types which |
| OpenOffice.org does not have native support for. Those drivers are not (yet) part of the "official" |
| OpenOffice.org distributions, but hosted here. If you like bleeding edge technology, download the driver |
| if your choice, try it out, and give feedback to the author or in our <a href="mailto:dev@dba.openoffice.org">development |
| mailing list</a>!</p> |
| |
| <p>Note that not even the authors of the drivers would, usually, call the current versions "production quality", |
| so the least thing you should have is a good backup.<img src="../images/smile.gif" alt="smile" style="width: 19px; height: 19px;"></p> |
