Thanks :)) ^_^
That confirmed what i believed and added some detail i hadn't been aware of

Not rude. More like an exclamation of surprise, such as when the referee

Base works well with most databas
Greetings Tom,
I can attest that Base works well with MySQL/Mariadb (M/M). I
understand that Base still requires the Java Connector
(mysql-connector-java) to talk M/M to the server (aka "Back End"). At
least that is how I still have Base configured. There was talk of a
"native" Base driver

Errr, sorry my question looks so rude! I am honestly just curious and

Hi :)
Ok, so is it just SQLite that is an odd exception or was the general 'rule'

others? Also that the kinda default way iof using Ba

It can, but:
- it isn't used by default, nor is it likely to become more prevalent in
the foreseeable future because ;

parser would
Hi :)
SQLite can be used as a back-end for Base, as can many other database
programs. One of the strengths of LibreOffice/OpenOffice Base is that it
is designed to use a wide variety of back-ends.

I can't see any support for ODB files coming anytime soon. A viewer for
ODB files would need at least to have a Java VM, or be able to
