Hi :) Ok, so is it just SQLite that is an odd exception or was the general 'rule' i gave completely wrong?
I'm under the impression that Base works well with Postgresql, MySQL/MariaDb, Hsqldb (as an external back-end), Firebird and many/most(??) others? Also that the kinda default way iof using Base is to use some external back-end - despite an internal one being hastily thrown on years ago in order to downgrade Base to be more like Access?
