Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 6091
cannot copy a query in writer
Last modified: 2006-05-31 14:29:06 UTC
I have an ODBC connection to a postgres database, using unixODBC 2.2.1 My OS is RedHat 7.2 The database is remote, running postgres 7.0.3 I configured the data source in OpenOffice correctly (v easy, though documentation somewhat arcane). I can run queries against the data quite happily. NB the database is quite big, so queries can be slow. I now go into data sources from Writer ... I can see the query in the explorer. If I copy the query and then paste into the document, I get Insert Database Columns dialog, but no columns are made available for selection. It works OK with tables but not with queries. The query is: select count(*) as hits, date_part('month',date) as month,date_part('year',date) as year from apachelog group by year, month order by year desc, month desc
Some more on this. - I should have said I get the same problem in the official version of StarOffice 6.0 - against a smaller table, a simple query will appear in the dialog with fields. However the new table never gets pasted into the document. - in the above case (ie with the smaller query) I can get the data into calc however. - ... as long as I don't try to use datapilot, which throws up unpredictable results.
to me, this seems the same as issue 3045. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 3045 ***
