Frank has set up a OOo Docs Wiki where I intend to publish more polished
work. In the meantime I will accept Andrew's offer and will ask him for
details once I am ready to submit any material.

Thank you all for your help and interest in this work!

Andrew, I would like some help undewrstanding the variable types offered
by Base. I have not been able to find info about them and do not want to
make the assumption that they mean exactly what other database systems
understand them to be.

I would appreciate any help on finding documentation about them or, if you
know their specs and how Base treats them, some lines from you.

The variables are:

Tiny Interger
Big Interger
Image (long var binary)
Binay (Varbinary)
Binary (fix)
Mamo (long var char)
Text(char) -fix
Text (varchar)
Text (varchar ignorecase) --> very interesting!
Number (numeric)
Decimal
Interger
Small Interger
Float
Real
Double
Boolean
Date
Time
Timestamp
Other  -->??

I hope that this is not a headache for you. I truly believe that
understanding variable attributes is fundamental to a useful and reliable
data base design.

Thanks again.
