The connection could not be established. The database was created by a newer version of LibreOffice. [closed]
On Saturday I created a database in Base. Spent about three hours work on it. On Sunday tried to open a table and got the following errors:
The connection to the data source "xxxxx" could not be established.
SQL Status: HY000
The connection could not be established. The database was created by a newer version of LibreOffice.
No updates involved. I get the same error if trying to open a query.
My environment:
- Linux Mint 17.3
- LibreOffice 5.0.3.2
- Database is registered with LibreOffice
- java version "1.7.0_151"
I have found a couple of similar questions here and here neither of which have an answer.
I also found this question but it seems more related to opening OpenOffice files.
My main question then, is how can I access the database?
Also, can I retrieve the data in any way?
And finally, how can I create a database on one day, and have it inaccessible the next?
Let me know if you neede any more information.C:\fakepath\Writers Books.odb
Have you modified path settings for HSQLDB? Your last link is NOT related to just OpenOffice files. It is just one of many ways to screw up an Embedded DB.
No, I haven't modified anything. The settings should be just as they were since I installed Linux Mint, unless some other program changed them. How do I check?
