Historic GNU information

Today I've stumbled upon this old page about the GNU project.

The last update has been in 1997, it's nice to see how things are changed in 10 years... For instance:

Linux is a copylefted kernel, which uses GNU, BSD and X software to make a compleat free OS. This or FreeBSD or NetBSD are great OS's to use until the Hurd is stable.


There's also an interesting newspaper article about the impact of reward on motivation (1987).

oobase and PostgreSQL

Add to Memories Tell a Friend

Problem:
accessing a PostgreSQL database from OpenOffice.org base under Debian.

Solution:
apt-get install unixodbc odbc-postgresql
# odbcinst -i -d -f /usr/share/psqlodbc/odbcinst.ini.template
$ cat /usr/share/doc/odbc-postgresql/examples/odbc.ini.template >> ~/.odbc.ini
  1. Set connection parameters in ~/.odbc.ini (username, password, host...)
  2. Check "Connect to an existing database" from the oobase Database Wizard, select ODBC, click on "Browse".

At this point your PostgreSQL database should be listed among the available data sources.
Yay!
