--- Comment #3 from Lionel Elie Mamane <[email protected]> ---
I understand the request as having several embedded databases in the same odb
file.

This is limited by a more fundamental design of LibreOffice Base, which is that
an .odb file is a connection to one database (be it embedded or not).
LibreOffice Base isn't its own Jet-like database engine that could combine
several databases and execute queries across several databases. All SQL queries
are executed by the one and only database engine that the odb file "connects
to".

Unless someone contributes a Jet-like database engine (that is a big work!), it
will stay like that.

In theory we could allow storing several different databases within the same
.odb file, but at opening one chooses which one one connects to (and then,
during that session, one sees only that database, not the others)? But to me
that would feel weird for users, and I don't see a use case (as long as one
cannot combine data from the several databases).

I'm closing as WONTFIX. If I misunderstood the request, reopen. If you present
a use case that I didn't see, reopen. If anyone volunteers to develop a
Jet-like database engine that can combine data from several sources, reopen.
