Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Urgent Base problem (stability in long term use)
Interesting to know! For my part, by precaution, all my data are kept in separate dbf tables, linked to an odb file. Why do I use dbf? Standard format making it portable to all softs, notably GIS softwares. Old archives can also be read even if you changed your soft. There is not much information on long term use of databases, let's say more than 10 years (e.g.: keeping adresses or bibliographic data). The file can get corrupt. But worser, some data inside the file can get corrupt, without changing the structure of the dbf file,and you just notice it when you query these data. I heard once that MS-access is not stable enough in long term use. And, sometimes, odb file can get problems (for ex. shutdown of windows while some forms are open in the odb file). But, when the tables are kept in separate files, recovery is easy, using a backup copy of the odb file. Using LibreOffice 3.3.2 on windows Vista. NB: I came to openoffice several years ago mainly because of its good integration with databases (standalone use). I wonder if my way of using Base is optimal, trying to find the way among the many possibilities offered by Base and Calc.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Urgent Base problem (stability in long term use)
The problem with using dbf files is that you no longer have a relational database.

Re: [libreoffice-users] More mailmerge woes
Herr Säger, you may have hit the nail on the head, thank you. Yes, even though my query was correctly displayed as the driving data for the document (of course, since I'm using mailmerge, this is a Writer document that has the problem), when I went through the Change datasource dialogue/wizard, it showed a different database as the source, weird! And that is a *fabulous* feature in Writer, just dragging the column onto the page, fabulous. However, there was still one problem remaining which I have fixed by changing the field name Company to Co. Whether I allowed MySQL to produce the fieldname or explicitly speciifed it with an alias, Base would insert the field as company (lowercase first letter), and it would therefore display the fieldname not the field contents, because the query wasn't producing a field with that name! Company is a reserved word somehow? Surely not!

Re: [libreoffice-users] [Feature request] Allow typing when saving file
Hi :) No, i had already posted an answer to this thread. Then i read another post which made me think of something else and then a little while later i thought of another thing. So i made a real mess of posting too many times. I have my cache set at 20Mb but i have also raised the Memory per object higher than any of the pictures or graphics in my documents. I sometimes use Gimp to reduce the byte-wise size without losing too much quality. Often photos from a camera are such a high resolution that they would look good on a roadside bill-board. Scaling them down to about twice the size they are going to be in the document means they still look good http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Lite_Quickies/ http://kerryshamblin.com/index.php?page=tutorial-web-images-gimp http://www.ahotw.com/2008/08/09/gimp-image-cropping-for-web/ This link does a lot more than i normally have time to http://www.geekazine.com/guests/basic-gimp-preparing-pictures-for-the-web I only usually get photos down to a couple of hundred kilobytes but logos and stuff are usually fairly easy to get down to maybe 20Kb. Images occasionally vanish from documents so it's a good idea to keep a back-up of them outside the document. If you save in Odt format then you can find all the images by opening the document as an archive. (Create a copy of the file. Rename the file-ending from .odt to .zip and then double-click on the file's icon). So it's easy to get a folder full of the images you use before they run into trouble.

[libreoffice-users] Conditions
For my mailmerge I want to set up a conditional paragraph conditional on more than one thing. I've got a database field Country, and if this is blank or contains Scotland I want the paragraph hidden. I *think* the condition ought to be NOT Country OR Country EQ 'Scotland' but it doesn't work. I thought blanks at the end of the country field might cause a problem so I tried NOT Country OR 'Scotland' EQ Country but that didn't work either. The help states that the fields ought to be written as database.table.field but that doesn't make any difference either and the single condition NOT Country does work, although it's insufficient for my needs. Have I got my logic entirely wrong, or can the condition expression not have more than one part?

[libreoffice-users] Re: Indexing a text by concordance file failes
Hi Tom, hi Andreas, I'm really thankful for your efforts and for being so lenient. But unfortunately the given solution doesn't match my problem. The solution-thread is about OpenOffice and the guy in the OO-forum has successfully got (!) an index using a concordance file and wants to modify it using a 2nd different file. (In fact I found this OO-Forum-Thread before I decided to start this LO-Thread.) Maybe I couldn't make my point clear enough: In LO (!) I can't insert an index by concordance file at all. All I get is a headline. It doesn't work in my environment and in LO 3.5.x. using the newest documentation (Thank you, Tom!). I have no problem building an index by concordance file in my old OO 3.x. Of course I can (and I do) open the LO-text after finishing as a workaround in OO and insert the index afterwards, but I'm quite sure that's not the way it's intended me to do. Please, did anybody succeed to use this feature in LO 3.5.1.2 running Win7 64Bit? Or should I consider submitting a (potential-) bugreport?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Urgent Base problem
THANKS for that, I must admit I've gotten spoilt by lots of years on Windows now, expect one install file to set up a program, and never having to use a command line -- even for Windows the program HSQLDB still encourages people to use command lines for some things Mind you, I don't mind learning again, if one is learning to do things more reliably and or powerfully Rusty in more ways than one I'm rusty ;-) - Original Message - From: Andreas Säger ville...@t-online.de To: users@global.libreoffice.org Cc: Sent: Sunday, 18 March 2012 10:25 PM Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: Urgent Base problem Am 18.03.2012 08:56, Mark Stanton wrote: I think the point Mark was making was to switch away from using the embedded back-end to pretty much any external one. Which is what you often suggest too. Yes indeed. Can HSQLDB be used as an external engine? I thought not, which is why I didn't include it. Mark Stanton One small step for mankind... http://hsqldb.org Download the latest version. Put it somewhere in your libraries (no installation required). Point your office Java to the extracted hsqldb.jar. Extract ./database/ from your embedded database somewhere to your files. Rename your database files with a common dbname. prefix. Connect a new Base document using JDBC with an URL like this one (refer to the downloaded documentation in your libs): jdbc: hsqldb:file:/home/andreas/hsqldb-2.2.5/databases/Praxis/hsqldbdata/db0/chargen;default_schema=true;shutdown=true;hsqldb.default_table_type=cached;get_column_name=false Copy over the queries, forms and reports from your embedded thing. You get the latest version of a full featured HSQLDB without restrictions, many more functions, the access control and safety you would expect from a database application. You can write a configuration file to run a server for concurrent access. Drawbacks: - Embedded HSQL requires another Java config. I use OOo for embedded and LibO 3.3.4 for normal access. - Base can not handle user defined row filters with HSQLDB2. I use my own power filters anyway. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
