I pulled this from a summarized list of features that OpenOffice.org supports.
Writer a word processor you can use for anything from writing a quick letter to producing an entire book. Calc a powerful spreadsheet with all the tools you need to calculate, analyse, and present your data in numerical reports or sizzling graphics. Impress the fastest, most powerful way to create effective multimedia presentations. Draw lets you produce everything from simple diagrams to dynamic 3D illustrations. Base lets you manipulate databases seamlessly. Create and modify tables, forms, queries, and reports, all from within OpenOffice.org Math lets you create mathematical equations with a graphic user interface or by directly typing your formulas into the equation editor. How much of this is true? I was specially interested in 'Base'. Is 'Base' like an open database client to any standard RDBMS? Also what about Impress and Draw? Are they any good for things like creating initial data flow diagrams or presentations?
