Hi Matthias,
For instance, it would be a good start to remove "Database" from the
quickstarter pop-up and the File/New dialog. How would I do that?
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.
As I understand it, not every body will want to use Base (HSQLDB
integration) but still want to access their external database (like
MySQL/SQLite/etc.) without using Base (the database environment).
Am I right in using the same word ?
Testing the 'with' and 'without' Base option lead us to 2 reflections:
- not activating Base during install process don't let you know that you
won't access to any of your external database any more (we have tested
it during an event last week and users were pretty confused)
- we lack a great fonctionnality (yes again ;) that was in the spirit of
1.x branch : the ability to deal with external database under F4
whatever the module you use.
Am I right or do I miss something or will it be possible in the future ?
Kind regards
Sophie
