[Bug 121640] New: Database in odb file cannot be moved with external
database
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121640
Bug ID: 121640
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Database in odb file cannot be moved with external
database
Classification: Application
Product: database access
Version: AOO 3.4.1
Hardware: All
OS: Windows 7
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: code
Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Reporter: michael.wegemer@gmail.com
CC: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Because absolute file name is contained in the connection information for an
external database, moving the file causes OO to try to read the original file
which is no longer there or on another machine. In developing an application I
created a directory with the data base files (HSQLDB) and the odb file. When I
moved the directory from the development machine to the user machine the
application would no longer run. Changing the connection information solved the
problem. Would recommend that for an external data base requiring files that OO
create the directory so that the path to the files can be relative.

To reproduce:
Create any open office base data base with HSQLDB external (not embedded)
Move (not copy) the .obd file to another directory.
Open the .obd file by double clicking on it.
The file will fail to open properly because base is looking for the file in the
original directory.

What exactly is your recommendation?
Do you mean OO should create a directory in the folder where your .odb file is
located?
What kind of relative URL would you be using to connect to the database?

Open office would create the directory for the data base files as a
subdirectory of the directory where the odb files exists. The data base
reference then could be stored as ./databasedirectory so that the data base
file location is relative to the odb file. In this way the complete database
could be moved and still function. You would simply move the odb file and the
data base directory
