Hello Drew.

well, you are right, users may have requested the One-Key-less-procedures. It
depends, whether the onwer of the application is accepting it or not. No serious
appliaction is using autocommit, as an unintentional commit will make roll-back
neccessary that just causes pain to everybody, like multi-use environments,
key-generating transactions etc. Think about bookkeeping, invoicing etc.

However, you can judge yourself. Think about developing a DBMS, and think about
which feature can miss, whithout the need to prevent the application from
dataloss by unintentional commit, the keyhit-saving autocommit or the
one-key-more(which in not really the case). A roll-back is needed for both, but
in case of explicit commit the user knows why. So it depends on what comes first
in regard to data-integrity, auto or not auto. 

regarding the BORG-calendar. It is not my favorite application, the calendar has
some disadvantages, however, it has a good potential. And it is not the only
HSQL-based application, that can be useful together with OO.o. It is a cann't
be, that OO.o is not save for use external HSQL-Sources. I am not that much
familiar with stuff like that, but I tried to find the differences, and it looks
as OO.o is tempering the properties-file and the storage-type in there. BORG
hold tables in memory, OO.o hold it cached. So Borg has data available
immidiatly. OO.o not, but could make the data immidiatly available, for example
by clearing cache  when waiting on next input, or just stop this rather useless
feature. that would not have any impact on performance in single-user or
SOHO-environments, but is the much saver concept. 
Well, I think you got what I ment, keep it safe, keep it simple, just the
old-school-way.

Martin

P.S.:
No, I do not want to discuss this in UX. I hate mailing-lists, stuff needs to be
centralized, thats enough. And I do not see the neccessity for this issue. This
is a defect-by-design, but nevertheless a defect.
