I have opened this issue, but it was suggested that the discussion
should take place here...

I still think this change should be implemented . It is a question of
ease of use...

-------------------

On OpenOffice.org Base we are allowed to import data from spreadsheets
or other
datas sources, but only in read only mode. This is possible using the
"connect"
option in the main OOo base menu. But many users want to be able to really
import the data and structure, and start using them on a read/write
mode,. This
is also possible, but only on a very non-intuitive way (copy date, nas
paste it
on the OOo menu). I  has to struggle in order to understand how to do
it, and I
am an IT professional.

Suggestion: on the main OOo menu,there are already three options:
"create new",
"open existing" and "connect". There should be an "import" option as well,
enabling easy importing of data structures into OOo Base.

you can do ti via copying from one Base file to another.

You create one file connecting to e.g the *.csv. Then open another Base file
with the wanted DB backend. Then you can copy the data (the structure or the
whole table).

So I think this is a problem for [EMAIL PROTECTED] we should
continue
the dicussion there.
