Frank,
you wrote back to me this
This feature itself has its quirks (issue 54609 being one of them), but
I don't think they make Base as such useless.
As I read the ranking documentation for issues this is a P2 because that
is where you put data loss. As such it
is not categorized as making the system unusable.
But, you have to admit that for a database manager this is the whole
ball of wax. I mean the way this is, people are going to lose data
and the problem is they can lose it long after they would reasonably
assume that it is safely tucked away on disc.
There realy is two things that will make this happen, not just this issue.
First this. Then there is the fact that when a connection is made to the
datasource from
within basic module it is not automatically closed when the variable
referencing it
goes out of scope. OK, I can see why that would be of course. But there
will be
those that will create it and for one reason or a nother, like a
programming error
never dispose of it. So a small utitlity will have the potential to hold
the data in memory
for perpetuity, until OO.o is completely shut down (including
quickstart). So someone
runs a small utitlty in the AM, does a days work and for whatever reason
the system
crashes (might be some other software not OO.o ) late in PM. Guess what
if the fellow
that wrote that little utility didn't remember to dispose of the last
connection. The data from
hours ago is gone. Better yet, they could have used the tables all day long.
This is not one that can be back burnered!
