Has such a document been written?
I would encourage you to write this guide. As a stand alone document it
might get lost, but as a chapter of one of the Guides, I'm not sure how
or where it would fit. But I do think that both the conversion process
and the advantages (and uses) of both a Calc "database" versus a true
Base db should be documented.
Possibly the guide could be "slightly" modified for inclusion in both
the Calc and Base guides...?
Comments from others might prove more helpful...anyone else have
thoughts on this?
I agree with Rick, a guide like this would be useful, if there is
nothing already available in the how-to's, including those on the
database development pages at OOo (and I don't think there is
anything written yet).
Such a document could be adapted for several different purposes
(perhaps a how-to at Docs as well as a chapter in one of both of
the Calc and Base guides).
Cheers, Jean
