I don't have a lot of time to rehash all the details in these old issues, but recently, I gave up again trying to use it.
Since about 2006, I have tried to get Base to work as a database - simple as that - in Linux. The last time, I had to get some Java programs to get the basic HQSL to function, but then I had another layer of issues about "non-nullables", and I gave up again. All Ireally wanted was to put my address book into a database! As anyone can see, there are some serious flaws in the usability and documentation of this program, and it still can not (for me at least) even repalce 1987's dBaseII for DOS! You can see a few of my recent posts in the ooforum.org links, and note there that I am not the only one who finds this a fatal flaw. The other links are what limited references I gathered to try to make sense of Base - to no avail. http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?p=396523#396523 http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=25060 http://inpics.net/tutorials/base2/basics63.html http://sheepdogguides.com/fdb/fdb1main.htm http://www.pitonyak.org/database/ http://inpics.net/base.html http://www.kaaredyret.dk/openoffice_links.html http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Base Let's get the database part of LO correct, this time, finally, so it can be a "drop-in" for, at least, an old Ashton-Tate product, and maybe, just maybe, for a current Microsoft one, too? Thank you!
