Can I use JayBird with Open Office?
Yes. Use the standard JayBird settings for the driver class and URL. You must have Java installed on your system as well. For example: JDBC Driver class- org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBDriver URL- jdbc:firebirdsql:host.domain.com/3050:/(pathtodb)/(dbfile).gdb Make sure the locations of the driver jars are in the classpath box in the menu: tools->options->openoffice.org->security. You can then use the data table tool in Open Office to extract rows of the database directly into your spreadsheets and use the data for any of the Open Office apps.
