Hi Dan,
I did not want you to think I blew off you request for an example the
other day - I pulled out some stuff I thought would work (hadn't really
looked at base for a while) and to be honest ran into some problems with
it under LibreOffice. Am waiting on a new build to try again...

I understand. I have come to the personal conclusion that SQL is
somewhat advanced for the Base Guide at this point in time. It seems
to me that it would require using the SQL Statement dialog (Tools>
SQL).
It is named as SQL command window, not interactive and it gives
minimal or not easy understandable output, as you mentioned below.
Maybe I shy away from this because my typing is not as accurate as I
would like. As a result, using this dialog results in far too many
errors with no idea as to why. (There is not the feedback as there is
with the Table Design and Query Design dialogs.)
I'm also wondering about the amount of writing required to
explain this topic. Seems like it will not be easy to explain to the
average person. If so, does this mean it might be better for this to
be a tutorial or appendix?
I think the Base Guide not for the totally beginner user (GS Base
chapter for them).
I think we could add more details on SQL in Chapter 4 as is in present
draft.
I finalize the first review of Chapter 4 today, I hope.

OK. I look forward to your suggestions as to where to add the SQL
and what to include.
Dan
