Running LO-4.3.5 on Slackware-14.1. I am developing a database application
to be used by unsophisticated users, all running some flavor of Windows.
I've not before used Base so if I can it will make distribution easier than
writing it in Python/wxPython and SQLite. I've read the Base handbook
Hi,
From Base you can connect to your DB.. So no need to recreate anything. Base
can be used to access the data in e.g. MySQL

Florian,
Yes, I read that. However, I do not see support for SQLite which is most
appropriate for this application as it's

Thank you, I'll do that. I did not see sqlite mentioned as supported in
the handbook. Of course, the
This is one way Base is more powerful than Access.
That's the whole point.
By not focusing on promoting Base as *the* generic client-side FOSS tool
for access to client-server RDBMs, they're missing a *HUGE* opportunity.
And since Rekall has vanished (despite being GPL), there's not much in

Hi :)
An rtfm answer that DOES link to documentation is still a bit rude but i
like this one. It's the links that make it really useful.
Do these links go to the same place?

So, what appears to be happening is consensus that other database
back-ends should be used.
What is implied, is that Base does not have the ability to generate from
a package, the selected external database of choice.
1. Is this correct?
2. Should it be corrected?
3. When generated, should
Hi :)
i think that could get really confusing! At the moment internal means
within Base itself and external means anywhere else.
However the anywhere else is really quite a vast range of places! And
the back-end could even be moved from one place to another with very little
change in Base.
Actually, it's just as easy to use Access as a front end to external DBMS'
as it is to use Base. As long as an ODBC driver is available and registered
in Windows, the external database looks like the native database. Just as
in Base, the features of the external DBMS have to be exposed by the

1. How robust are embedded Base files created by the GUI?
With an embedded database, any bug in the application (doesn't
even have to crash) can corrupt your data.
With a client-server database, it's essentially impossible for the
client to corrupt the data.

Hi :)
MS Access does it that way and therefore everyone else 'must' too.
We can't sell Base by pointing out that it has huge advantages over
Access. (One of those being that it's so much easier to connect it to an
external back-end and is really kinda the default way of using Base). So
