Hello Frank,
this is my first message to this group, even if my subscription goes
back to the past year.
I am an old MS-Access user and programmer for my own pourposes, and I am
currently evaluating to migrate to Base.
I'd like to know your opinion (and of those members interested to this
matter) on some functionalities that are still very limited in Base.
I'm referring, mainly, to the following:
1. queries built on more than one table are totally not editabile;
2. any relationships between queries or queries and tables are not allowed
3. queries built on others queries or queries and tables are not allowed;
3. in case of external databases, such as datasheets, the resulting
tables in Base are read-only, but the worst thing is that the user
cannot create any relationship between that tables and consequently any
queries with more than one table.
I'm pretty confident that these limitations can (and will) be solved,
sooner or later (some issues were opened, too, since the past year), but
what sounds strange to me is the silence of the members of this
community. It seems that this matter were as marginal, or had a very low
priority inside the whole project.
I have always thought that this kind of functionalities make the
difference between relational databases and flat ones. Am I wrong?
Once, many years ago, I somewhere read that the most of users actually
use Access as a flat database and not as a relational one. Perhaps this
is still true, also for Base?
Thanks for your attention,
Franco
