I moved away from that malicious software (fortunately) and, as I said,
I'm in Debian testing (AMD64) now. But apparently it's possible to do the
same thing you suggest with Openoffice.org. This is not going smoothly
though, as the openoffice.org crashes before I visit the "tables" section
of their GUI. I'm sure my odbc setup is correct, as I can connect to a
postgresql database using the tools available in unixodbc. Another tool I
tried is rekall (available as Debian package also), but it's also crashing
and doesn't provide the flexibility that Openoffice.org offers. What
gives?
