Hi Matthias,

Latest builds have a possibility to remove "Base" from the installation
during setup, just as you can do with the other applications.

For now, this basically only implies that the "New database" entries are
removed from various places, including the ones you mentioned.
Additionally, the data source browser (F4) is removed, and you cannot
open DB files from the File|Open dialog. See [1] for details.

If you only want to remove the menu entries, but not the DSB - Hmm. Not
sure if this is possible, other people might know more about it.

Removing things like the database registration (Tools|Options|Databases)
is not possible ATM. (Completely removing it would not really be an
option, since the other applications currently in parts rely on
registered databases to work on, instead of database documents.)

None except disabling it in the setup, with exactly the consequences
described in [1].

One could manually de-register certain UNO services, so that certain
functionality becomes unavailable. This could include at least all
services which are necessary for the UI. If the above doesn't fit your
needs, this would be the way to go. However, since this is not really a
supported way, there might remain artifacts in the UI. For instance,
users maybe can do File|New|Database, and then be confronted with an
error message only.

Ciao
