Hello, I work with Base (stand alone) as well since many years, the main
application with it has several thousand records. However my experience
is that base is less stable compared to e.g. LO Calc or LO Writer. My
most critical app is still in ACCESS and I will change that to MariaDB.
As like for any other application the rule of doing a backup is simple:
Do the backup before the amount of data entry/edit you don't want to do
again.
I have an app on an external drive and use the internal drive as backup
drive by using 'Save As...' and use the following file name convention,
e.g. for today it would be:
MXDB_2024-0101A.odb
MXDB_2024-0101B.odb
for tomorrow:
MXDB_2024-0102A.odb
MXDB_2024-0102B.odb
etc.
Happy hew year to all!

In trying to reopen table I'd created, I cannot add records -- says

All I
did was try to begin a new record.I also get a very small red icon
containing an "I" with a slash through it, near top left of "open

Have Java on computer. Wondering if I will really have to learn to
code if
I want sort of consumer database formerly available (e.g., Lotus
Approach)
-- I'm 77. New to LibreOffice: is understanding and responding to
such as
above required for use?
Sort of like the following learning curve:
1. - Databases store and manipulate data.
2. - Data can be numeric or verbal.
3. - E = MC2
Do other folks give up on LibreOffice Base as too technical? Any idea
where
they end up?
Thanks
