I think part of the problem is the rise of client server databases with the

principle of connecting to a database rather than including the old Addabas

Tom, Ian, please move the discussion over to the discuss@ list. If
there's any code questions (and there were people interested in the
long-dormant postgres-connector), that should go to

Hi Tom,
why do you think it's dying? And removing it from LO is not an
option for me. People using it need to step up, and start getting
involved - and I'm sure they will.
Hi :)
Base does support a lot of different back-ends but it needs to have a default
one. The current default seems to be quite troublesome so people are often
told to use something else such PostGreSql or MariaDb / MySql.
MariaDb is the same as MySql except that it is developing fast and has

As i keep pointing out TDF started up almost exactly 1 year ago. All the other
apps have a number of people that work on them or happily move between the
different apps but none touch base.
Quirks and regressions are quite common in Base between one release of LO and
another. The
Hi :)
Hmmm, if you depend on Base then i think it's about time you start looking into
switching to Kexi. It supports a variety of back-ends, just as Base does, but
it does have a large number of devs actively working on it.
I think we have to start recommending Kexi to anyone that has any

I am sorry but there is NO suitable list to discuss Base. Almost no-one that
has expressed any interest in working on Base is on the list you discuss and
they are not willing to join a high-traffic list that knows nothing about using
Base.
Hi Florian,
this is the *wrong* list to discuss about base. *Please* move the discussion
over to discuss@, as Thorsten asked.
Well, maybe it's not really so off-topic, IMHO. I think it's an issue
that Tom - and maybe even others - really want to put before the SC.

I perfectly understand your point.
It is not helpful when you declare a thread to be a vote among SC
members and then people jump in with friendly and encouraging
comments, because then the SC can't vote properly and unambiguously.
