How can I quickly setup a database and query to test this thing?I find setting up databases and configuring them a super pain in the ass, so much so that I have a fair number of bugs lingering because I can't motivate myself to struggle with configuring databases. Personally, I think I would be tempted by something like a virtual box VDI pre-configured, installed and populated databases images/appliances
At least for the simple tasks like this, running some SQL query against any database, the ODBC/HSQL (or whatever is the background job doing) of Base is sufficient. The easiest method (of course I had to have that idea after having created my own ;) is probably to copy (to not mess around with the registered sample database) install/basis3.5/presets/database/biblio.odb to the document folder and file open it.
Is this a stupid idea ?
If larger SQL systems setup in specific ways are needed, a VB is probably a good idea. Eike -- PGP/OpenPGP/GnuPG encrypted mail preferred in all private communication. Key ID: 0x293C05FD - 997A 4C60 CE41 0149 0DB3 9E96 2F1A D073 293C 05FD
