Re: Help Required In Writing a New SDBC Driver For LDAP

Hi Rohit,

First of all you have to decide if the driver should be an extension or 
not. I would first try it as extension because you could look at the 
mysql driver.

Not an extension:
The best and easiest way to start I guess is to simply copy the skeleton 
files in a folder beside the other database drivers in connectivity. 
Further on you should copy e.g. the macab.xml and macab.xcu file and 
rename it to your driver in the same directory.
Search with opengrok http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/ the 
macab key inside the other projects e.g. scp2 to include the files into 
the OOo installation. Build OOo.

As extension:
Here the best way is to look at the mysqlc/source where the mysql 
extension is build and copy the files you need to build the oxt. But 
please be aware to replace all occurrences of mysql with your name ;-)


Best regards,

Ocke
