JaybirdOOo is part of a Suite of LibreOffice and/or OpenOffice extensions allowing to offer you innovative services in these office suites.
This extension allows you to use Firebird in embedded mode, making the database portable (a single odb file).
It allows you to take advantage of the ACID properties of the underlying Firebird database.
This implementation uses Jaybird 6.0.0 which is an unfinalized version. Please use with caution.
Being free software I encourage you:
In short, to participate in the development of this extension.
Because it is together that we can make Free Software smarter.
The JaybirdOOo extension uses the jdbcDriverOOo extension to work.
It must therefore meet the requirement of the jdbcDriverOOo extension.
Only LibreOffice 24.2.x or higher is supported.
Using Jaybird 6.0.0 requires a JRE Java version 17 or higher.
It seems important that the file was not renamed when it was downloaded.
If necessary, rename it before installing it.
Install jdbcDriverOOo.oxt extension
This extension is necessary to use Firebird with all its features.
Install JaybirdOOo.oxt extension
Restart LibreOffice after installation.
Be careful, restarting LibreOffice may not be enough.
soffice
and using the key combination Ctrl + C
if after stopping LibreOffice, the terminal is not active (no command prompt).In LibreOffice / OpenOffice go to File -> New -> Database…:
In step: Select database:
In step: Save and proceed:
Have fun…
JaybirdOOo is an com.sun.star.sdbc.Driver UNO service written in Python.
It is an overlay to the jdbcDriverOOo extension allowing to store the Firebird database in an odb file (which is, in fact, a compressed file).
Its operation is quite basic, namely:
.
+ odb_file_name
+ .lck
is created in the location of the odb file where all Firebird files are extracted from the database directory of the odb file (unzip)./jaybird
.The main purpose of this mode of operation is to take advantage of the ACID characteristics of the underlying database in the event of an abnormal closure of LibreOffice. On the other hand, the function: file -> Save has no effect on the underlying database. Only closing the odb file or saving it under a different name (File -> Save As) will save the database in the odb file.
LibreOffice 24.2.1.2 (x86_64)- Windows 10
LibreOffice 24.2.1.2 - Lubuntu 22.04
LibreOffice 24.8.0.3 (x86_64) - Windows 10(x64) - Python version 3.9.19 (under Lubuntu 22.04 / VirtualBox 6.1.38)
I encourage you in case of problem
to create an issue
I will try to solve it
sdbc:embedded:jaybird
.Query for generated values
accessible through the menu: Edit -> Database -> Advanced Settings… -> Generated Values by the value: SELECT * FROM %s WHERE %s
.Add new language for internationalization…
Anything welcome…
