Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 78523
Query: Turning native sql off shouldn't destroy the structure of the query
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:38:20 UTC
If you have a select-query with a lot of combined "AND" and "OR" conditions with parenthesis, then it is useful to work with line breaks and tabs to show the structure. If native sql must turned off (e.g. because of issue 78522), base deletes this structure. Most db-systems (all?) ignore white spaces, line breaks etc., so couldn't this behavior be changed? Another possibility is, to parsing the string at runtime and let him untouched until the designer was used.
I can confirm the behavior, but I think this is an enhancement. I tried with MSAccess (ODBC) and Oracle (JDBC): If I turn off the "Run SQL command directly", all my tabs and line-breaks are removed when saving... Thank you. Hwoarang OOom222 WinXP PRO
