I agree!
Note that the table wizard generates exactly these tables. The Wiki
shows how to connect the relationships
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Standard_Distributed_Schema.
So what we need next is forms and reports and possibly clever Calc
sheets that show how to retrieve and analyze data.
Problem: If we try to develop such a database together we need a version
control system. When it's done it needs to be translated to every
language OO supports.
My idea: we need to develop a Basic script that generates the whole
database with everything in it. The Basic code is text and can be
maintained as all other code. The localization text should be separated
for easy translation.

In my opinion, it would be better to have a business database with
customers, vendors, products, services, invoicing(reports), sales
reports, sales forms, etc. This would cover most cases that users would
be creating and would be a better platform to be an example.

Hi,
for the Base application help it would be very helpful to have a
sample database with some sample records. Help steps can then refer to
those tables.
Currently, every Base help text needs to start with something like
"imagine you have a database with the following structure... and there
are fields with the following names ... and you have defined a query
like this ...". This makes writing short how-to-do steps really
annoying (and may be the main reason why there aren't any such short
and quick guides)
