Hi :)
SQLite can be used as a back-end for Base, as can many other database
programs.  One of the strengths of LibreOffice/OpenOffice Base is that it
is designed to use a wide variety of back-ends.

Thanks. I hadn't thought about having to port the database engines.
(For some reason, I keep thinking that LibO uses SQLite.)

I can't see any support for ODB files coming anytime soon. A viewer for
ODB files would need at least to have a Java VM, or be able to
instantiate one, and at least hsqldb.jar and/or embedded firebird db
engines and probably a few other jar files (e.g. for reports), or be
able to access them on whatever system it was installed, and that is
just for the currently embedded databases. If someone wanted a viewer
for ODB files that use a separate db engine, that would require a whole
other specific development.
