Produktbeschreibung

OpenOffice and HSQLDB are two of the brightest stars in the OpenSource heavens right now. OpenOffice is an enterprise-grade, heavyweight contender to Microsoft's Office suite with a stellar growth in downloads and market share. It is also multi-platform, robust and fully featured system upon which to build enterprise class, license-free and distributable data applications. OpenOffice 2 will include HSQLDB. HSQLDB is a marvel of database technology. It provides a lightening fast, portable, embeddable and standards-compliant SQL database engine. It is built on Java technology and much of its stability and rich feature set come from the Java platform. As does its rapid development. In fact, HSQLDB has developed into a major database technology so quickly that no books presently exist that cover its use. For the first time in print, this book provides in-depth programmer's documentation for both OpenOffice 2 and HSQLDB. It is written for application developers who wish to develop data-rich, OpenOffice-based applications quickly. It not only provides the first published programming reference for HSQL, but it is also the first book to tackle using HSQLDB within OpenOffice 2. This book uniquely focuses on real world application development in OpenOffice 2.
