yes, i recall reading that Java was necessary to use OO's database.
however, i have no use for that in the foreseeable future.

does anyone else know whether Java is needed for LO's database stuff ?

so far, it looks as if i shd remove the USE flag,
recompile the relevant pkgs & see what happens when i try using them.

further comments still very welcome & thanks for those so far.
