When using StarOffice to create a new database access, you have
to decide how to acces it (odbc or jdbc for instance), and
give him either the url of BD (in the jdbc case) or the data
source object (in the odbc case). Then StarOffice tries to connect
the specified database and retreives the list of tables of this base.

StarOffice has a specific tool to connect databases.
In the JDBC case, It prompts the user for a JDBC driver.
I used the last Postgresql debian packaged driver for that.

I'm afraid i can't find any log file. There is no error messages :
the list of tables are just empty, but my database has at about 30 tables.

It dosn't work with other Postgres databases, but it has worked
with mysql databases.
