Judging by the number of complaints I have seen on the French n-l user
lists about data loss through crashing, and as a voluntary QA member, I
would say that this is a very good topic for discussion, but that I am
hopelessly incompetent to respond. To be fair, it appears that Base has
become more stable in the current 2.0.1 version, but who wants to spend
hours constructing a database to have to rebuild everything when the app
regularly goes pear-shaped.?

I might be wrong as to how it functions, but my understanding is that as
long as the I/O stream is not written to disk in the ODB file, then
everything still resides in memory. From what I recall, one of the
challenges of embedding a db into an openoffice.org document was the
necessity to make the base i/o streamable. This was one reason given why
sqlite wasn't chosen, because it's i/o model wasn't streamable in a way
that could easily be embedded into an OOo document. Like I said, I'm not
technically competent to go any further than what I've read in the past
from various devs on different lists, so I may be completely off the
mark.
