... and there is no problem to use the *.rpm directly from LibreOffice.
I have installed more than 15 different LO-versions for testing parallel
in a folder here - also LO 6.3.0.2 ...

My System: OpenSUSE 15 64bit rpm Linux.

Hi Harvey.
I use the repositories below as 6.1 has some bugs blocking my use, fixed
in 6.2.
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/LibreOffice:/6.2/openSUSE_Leap_15.1/
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/LibreOffice:/6.2/openSUSE_Leap_15.0/

A German mirror too;
https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/LibreOffice:/6.2/openSUSE_Leap_15.0/
etc.

Thanks, Robert. I am at home in both languages, so to speak, so there
is no problem there.

As I see it, your handbook is limited to Basic, i.e. no Java, no
python, so that solves the first problem (I might have tried to venture
into python).

OpenSUSE has not yet integrated 6.2, so I hope I can use the 6.2
Handbook without further ambiguities. I know that I was waiting for the
ODBC connection to be set up in 6.2, but the connection issue is
solved, thanks to your help! 

In short, I'll give it a try! Many thanks again. No doubt I'll be in
touch again!

Cheers
Harvey

I see your mailaccount is from *.de (Germany). So could be you
understand the German descriptions of the Base-Handbuch. You could find
the newest versions on my homepage. There are also example-databases
where you could find parts of macro-code.

You could also find older versions, which are translated into English:

Hallo Alex,

yes, thanks for that suggestion. I was 'kinda feared' you might suggest
that. I think I would need some very solid documentation to go that
way. What flummexes me most there is the multitude of methods available
that house the relatively modest functions I need. 

I remember using VBA from my days with MSAccess, but our LO/Linux world
has such an 'embarrassment of riches' I don't quite know where to
start. You could say I'm a bit intimidated by the idea. Any suggestions
where I might start?

Cheers
Harvey

As yet, and as Robert has indicated, nothing in the Base UI allows you
to save UPDATE queries and run them from the SQL Query UI. It has
unfortunately always been this way, since StarOffice (so that's a very
long time for a seemingly critically missing piece of functionality).

No one has undertaken to add the required functionality to the UI, or
internal LO parser (which would allow for graphical UI manipulation of
update statements).

The only remaining possibility then is via macro, which can be stored in
the ODB file, and triggered for example, via a button press on a form,
or a form reload, or some other action that can be used as the event
trigger.
