Error when trying to load new base file

[anvb]

Error message: connection to data source could not be established sdbc:embedded:hsqldb.

CPU: macbook pro. os: high sierra 10.13.4
LO: Collabora Office 5.3-40
User: slightly less dumb than he seems

Am trying to create a new database

had wrong java. need JDK 64-bit for the mac.
your java link yielded Java SE Development Kit 10.0.1, jdk-10.0.1_osx-x64_bin.dmg. is using dev kit OK?

Java 8 is “unavailable” and no longer supported. Java 9 has been “superceded.” could not find non-dev kit for java 10.

Where to get what?

Hello @anvb,

This error and your question are difficult at best to answer with the information provided. You really need to indicate OS, LO version & bitness, what type of DB are you connecting to, the Java version & bitness for starters along with the entire error message.

Also your question states ... when trhying to load anew base file which is contradictory. Either you get this when creating a new file or you are loading an existing file. If the latter what type of DB are you using?

Regardless, here are a few links to review depending on the real problem:

No java or incorrect Java - on firefox and have loaded java 32

Edited 2018-05-25 to correct following link:

Existing Base file connected to Access - I got error “The connection to the data source “DB file name” could not be established.”

File from Dropbox or Google Drive - need more info

If the above doesn’t answer your question PLEASE provide MORE information!!!

If this answers your question please tick the (upper left area of answer). It helps others to know there was an accepted answer.

@anvb That IS the JDK → Java SE Development Kit 10 Downloads. JDK IS Java Development Kit. If you are on a Mac this is what is needed! Linux & Windows only can use non dev kit.

BTW - Java 6, 7, 8 & 9 ARE still available. You just have to know how to find them!
