Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Where is Base?
I guess Andreas is right in all his observations. I'll never expected LO or similars to be an top Databse development front end (although if it would reach filemakers level would be nice). What I expect, as a non IT person, from such kind of platform, is to help me out to delevelop relative simple to medium simple personal and sometimes professional problems without having to learn several programming languages to achive the same through web pages. I have some friends which simply gave up building such DB just because it was to cumberson to learn several different thinks to achieve one purpose only. I thing every tool is a right tool if we keep their limitation in mind and I think Base is in the absolute right direction. After starting to read the 4.4 manual, Tom pointed me out, I got over enthusiastic again, because I saw how much progress the Base team has done (good work folks). I got so enthusiastic that I started to translate it to my native language (as soon I reach some chapter translated I'll make the drafts available). I think that one of the major draw backs of Base and why people isn't using it is the lack of up to date manuals. There more up to date literature and information is available more people can understand power and limitations of base and how to employ it. I know there are some tutorials around, but there more there better so people can see what is possible to do with base. I know the develop and documentation team might be small for this herculean work but as I said before good job folks, the rest comes with time.

It makes me very satisfied, but I have to deal with quite a range of technological problems. That, explains maybe that I'd rather try to get help, instead of wasting time on my one in case I did edit your spreadsheet and put a copy here. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xusCFUw5wy62IOcRJTTTfCQxtAcnyccXJuMHUilZ9T8/edit?usp=sharing In my copy I've highlighted all the number/value pairs and have some questions based on that. First, some numbers aren't paired with anything. What do they belong with? thay are orfans, I,ve just did not remark it Second, you refer to the values as an array but, given the organization of the spreadsheet I don't see any arrays. What arrays are you referring to? Cell addresses would be helpful to understand. the array was ment as follow: There are severall tools, which give their output sequentially in time. The output creates an arrey, data are placed in rows and columns Regarding your question about numbers of rows and columns I believe the max number of rows is 1,000,000 and max columns is 1024. thank you. The question: till know, I don't realise, it was meant spreadseet or base table 1,000,000x1024 ? Your example was given in a spreadsheet. My answer re: rows and columns was therefore limits for the spreadsheet. Your example for A target shows the one positive value for A in one column and the negative values for A in a different column. In the target the order of values by row is the same as in the source. right, it should rest as in the input array Which gets me back to I still don't understand what you need to accomplish. I belive now, to be understood, I need to accomlish it as in example for A Answers to a few questions may help me: - is the goal to rearrange the Raw Alphanumerical so it is organized like the target yes, separately in files for A, B, C, etc, and additionally, if possible, all in columns in one file - is there a specific repeatable method for why data is where it is in the Raw Alphanumerical and if there is what are the rules? Knowing the rules would go a long way to planning how to rearrange Raw into Target output of each tool gives specyfic array of data, there are several tools. Tools are active in axis of time, independently each of other, in a kind of burst of time. I am still trying to understand the source data. Looking again at the spreadsheet I wonder does each row represent the same point in time? In other words, for row 7 events were recorded from source A and B at the same point in time. For row 9 events were recorded from source B, D and G at the same point in time. With this idea as reference my thought is to first organize the input so it is collected in one of two ways with some similar rules for both methods. First rule, no empty rows. Second rule, column A should be a time stamp for when the event happened. Method1 Column A is time stamp Column B is A, B, ..., G, etc, a tag to indicate which device provided the value Column C is the value provided by the device In this method Column A may have multiple rows with the same value because multiple devices may have an event at the same time. Therefore the values in column A and column B together make each row unique. The spreadsheet can now be used as the source for a pivot table or database query that displays the data in your desired format. Method2 Column A is time stamp Column B is A, B, ..., G, etc, a tag to indicate which device provided the value Column C is the value provided by the device Column D is A, B, ..., G, etc, a tag to indicate which device provided the value Column E is the value provided by the device Column F repeat pattern above... This method requires data from each device, the device label and value, go into specific columns. In other words device A must always put it's values in columns B and C, device B puts its values in columns D and E, ..., device G puts its values in columns N and O, etc. As in the first method each row represents a single point in time Again the spreadsheet would be used as the source for a pivot table or database query to display the data. I think Method1 is the better way to attempt. Devices can be added and removed without considering what column the data goes in. It will always go in A, B, and C. Timestamp, Device identifier, Value.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Where is Base?
Hi :) Thanks for your support chaps! :) I think the main problem was about HSqlDb being fairly fantastic as a back-end when used as an external back-end, preferably as their latest version from their official website (or your distro's repos or whatever) but any of their versions will do apparently; http://hsqldb.org/ Their 2.3.2 does full multi-threading. The latest version 2.3.2 improves on access and management of very large data sets. It supports up to 270 billion rows of data in a single database and a hot backup capability. Ok, so it seem my thoughts about it being mainly for small, light and very fast databases was a bit off too! I'm not sure how that compares with MySql/MariaDb or Postgresql but it sounds like, as almost always ime, the simplest explanation to cover all available information is not always the truth! HSqlDb seems good for rather large databases after all. Also it sounds as though it is reasonably easy to export a .jar file (or something) from Base, if you are currently using the internal back-end and then just use that in an external version of HSqlDb then that works quite well too apparently. This is something i wish had been clear many years ago!! So the only problem is with continued current usage of the internal back-end but having easy migration routes into external back-ends might help us deal with people's problems MUCH more easily in the future. Does anyone here have a database that does still use the internal back-end? If so is there any chance of experimenting with exporting as some sort of java file with maybe a little help from some of the experts on this mailing list? I would be interested to see how it plays out and whether it really is as easy as has been suggested. Right now my feeling right now is that moving to MySql/MariaDb still has advantages, such as possibly being more widely used and therefore maybe easier to get advice, guidance and maybe even training in.

I always used FilemakePro for all kinds of single-user databases, e.g. Address_lists, Invoices, etc. and later (beginning with FileMaker Pro 7.0) I used it as a Frontend for MySql. But unfortunately Filemaker ist not available for Linux, only for Mac+Windows, so some days ago I gave LibreOffice Base (4.4) a try, did some tutorials and now I'm very exited about its possibilites - especially the use of direct mysql-queries (thats not possible with FileMaker). But in LibreOffice Base there are some (in my opinion very important) things missing: 1. I cannot use the internal LibreOffice Database together with an other external (e.g. Mysql-) Database. With Filemaker I often created local (Filemaker-) Databases, containing search-filters (or settings) for the local user that filter the lists of the mySql-Data-Forms. This seems not possible with LO Base. 2. LO Base is missing options to create apps for 'simple' users. Using a LibreOffice Base file is too complicate for many users who simply have to add/edit data. I know, there are standalone-forms, but there are too few possibilities with that (e.g. no Macros). For a 'simple' user, I'd like to have - *one* Window and buttons to switch the content of the window to different forms/reports etc. - a tab-controller element (switching through subforms with tabs) - a script-engine easier to use than macros (see FileMaker how this can be made perfectly) - Security-Settings/User-Rights, so that users cannot destroy their app by mistake This year, I have to create a frontend for a really big MySql-Database (100+ Tables). There is a web-app to browse this data, but for adding/editing data there is no perfect solution yet (This customer uses a php-import-script for his Access-Databses atm...) I would really like to implement this frontent with LO-Base, but I'm afraid I will end up with Filemaker because I can create a more robust tool with it (and also, because I'm used to it since years...) LibreOffice base will bring not real new stuff due to lack of developer interest, but you can perfectly build yourseff a frontend using the API and basic.

The 'start centre' ''improvement'' is not ideal for managing file history, because it is possible to start directly components such as 'writer'.

Asking because of an intent to harmonize behaviours and approaches. Because we are talking about office macros. An office macro is stored in the user profle, in the install directory or in an office document. Thanks for sharing the perspective. I'll explain the simple logic that's a building block of data-oriented environments such as Kexi. Macro in LO is an equivalent of an MS Access module, which is stored in database, just like in Kexi. It's also an equivalent of a stored procedure, which is stored in a database, and in addition execution engine usually happens to be bundled in the same product database and can be controlled using the same channel as data, structure and triggers are controlled. (Sorry if I am writing this under the eyes of seasoned (real) db users but still I hope it will be useful to someone) I don't need to mention that sharing authentication rules and transmission channels with the database engine is beneficial for security. Compare that to storing code in home directory, enabled for free modification. What you have up and running on your server is a database. The office suite and the database are 2 completely separate things. The database accepts requests and returns requested record sets without knowing any of your queries, forms, reports and macros. It accepts the exact same requests from your web server returning the exact same record sets without knowing anyting about your web server, script language or the client's browser. True, just like the database does not know that a NAME column's semantics is person's name. It's the one or two upper layer(s) of your architecture that implement the semantics. Scripts/macros/forms/reports/query statements and everything else are strings perfectly stored. Just like your bash scripts in a file system. They are programs, stored as arrays of characters, without any knowledge what's inside. From that perspective, database is a storage medium, just like a file system, with a different feature set. For executing it you need an execution engine (javascript or python or a clone of VB, etc.) and an execution context. Execution in an environment itself calls a process call into being. Ability of handling _programs_ on the server side is irrelevant to ability of properly storing (textual, or binary) definition of _macros_ and offering them to clients for retrieval, maybe versioning, and protecting the access. -- regards, Jaroslaw Staniek KDE: : A world-wide network of software engineers, artists, writers, translators : and facilitators committed to Free Software development - http://kde.org Calligra Suite: : A graphic art and office suite - http://calligra.org Kexi: : A visual database apps builder - http://calligra.org/kexi Qt Certified Specialist: : http://www.linkedin.com/in/jstaniek -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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
[libreoffice-users] PDF Forms - Trying to /not/ reinvent the wheel.
I've done a lot of searching including the list archived and I've found no answers yet. I've been able to take a document and turn it into a form and export it as a PDF form for filling in. I'm looking to find out if anyone's (successfully I hope) created a PDF form this way which *includes a little bit of javascript (or any other script) which allows for some minor field manipulations.* I just want to make sure I'm not accelerating towards a brick wall. ;) My objective is simple. There's a lot of examples that already exist that show how to create a date field in a form that is updated/filled in when the PDF is opened. I'd like to get that field filled in using a specific format and then have it validated. All of the examples are how to do this using one of the Adobe tools to put some javascript into place to make this work. I'd like to find out if that javascript and field relationship can be created from LibreOffice. Thanks for everyone's time and bandwidth. Any guidance is welcome. -- MCT Michael C Tiernan. http://www.linkedin.com/in/mtiernan Non Impediti Ratione Cogatationis Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A.

[libreoffice-users] Columns
I have hundreds of pages with each page divided into two columns. I have been doing this for at least two years with LibreOffice. Never had it been a problem. After the second last update, I find that when I open up a page I had saved, no columns. I have to reset them. I am now using ver 4.4.1.2. I still have to reset the columns. Obviously, something was changed in the updates. What is wrong here? Thanks for any help.
