Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base: Action Queries

     I wonder about the last line of your code:

WHERE OrgName IS NOT NULL;

Above this line you used  "OrgName"
     Your field has upper and lower case letters. When this is the 
case, you must enclose the field's name in double quotes. So, I'm 
thinking that this is likely the problem.

     A quote from the HSQLDB Guide (version 1.8):
name
     The character set for quoted identifiers (names) in HSQLDB is Unicode.
A unquoted identifier (name) starts with a letter and is followed by any 
number of AS-
CII letters or digits. When an SQL statement is issued, any lowercase 
characters in un-
quoted identifiers are converted to uppercase. Because of this, unquoted 
names are in
fact ALL UPPERCASE when used in SQL statements. An important implication 
of this
is the for accessing columns names via JDBC DatabaseMetaData: the 
internal form,
which is the ALL UPPERCASE must be used if the column name was not 
quoted in the
CREATE TABLE statement.
     Quoted identifiers can be used as names (for tables, columns, 
constraints or indexes).
Quoted identifiers start and end with " (one doublequote). A quoted 
identifier can con-
tain any Unicode character, including space. In a quoted identifier use 
"" (two double-
quotes) to create a " (one doublequote). With quoted identifiers it is 
possible to create
mixed-case table and column names.
