Register a remote (PostgresSQL DB) using a macro?

[CandidoBandido]

Hi Everyone

I am developing a BASE application that addresses a remote PostgresSQL table. Currently the user will see only a login screen and the form for editing and investigating data.

In order for the application to run, the user must first install LibreOffice on their device and register the database. The former task (LibreOffice installation) is unavoidable for the user, but the latter task (registering the database within LibreOffice) may be a little complicated for them (who are Windows users).

My question is:

Can the application register a remote database in LibreOffice within my .odb using a macro, or is there a way to address the database without registering?

Best wishes,

or is there a way to address the database without registering?

“Since OpenOffice.org 2.0.0, getByName() can also be used to obtain data sources that are not registered. You only need to pass a URL pointing to a valid database file, which is then automatically loaded by the context.”
