Bug ID: 104651
Summary: Reducing user confusion: Queries, Views and Tables
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.2.3.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Base
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Can we please get the process started to have the most basic part of the Base
user interface straighted up so there is a clear separation between data and
design?
Tables need to list just tables, and only tables.
Queries need to list just things that are queries.
Since what is currently called a View, looks like to me like a Query, edits
like a Query, and runs like a Query, I think the behavior of a View, e.g.
column formatting, should be merged into a Query, and views depreciated.
This is also how MS Access is done, so this fix would further make Base
consistent with Access to remove one more stumbling block and help attract
people like me who are trying to move from Access to Base.
