Hi All
I agree the embedded HSQL db, for me at least is redundant, but, if you
are coming solely from an Access background, then it quite possibly is
an essential component.
Also, the idea of the Single Base file, I think is essential, and makes
distributions of your DB front make more sense. Already, to alot of
people OO is new, if you then say, I have a database for you, please
unzip all these files, as opposed to saying, here is your database file,
then you reduce the user errors. Obviously, I do complicate matters
slightly, by using a MySQL database as a backend, but that stems from,
problems I had in the pas with HSQL, and also because originally I
migrated from Access to MySQL for the data backend. So, to remove the
option of the single file database, would be a very bad idea, and a
retrograde, step, as opposed to effectively a simple regression, until
Base is stabilized.
This issue, isn't just an LO issue, it is also present in OO3.3, so
between OO and LO, I have faith that the issues will be resolved 1 way
or another.
I have also raised an OO issue,
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=116878
So, if there are no LO base devs, although the forms in Base are
essentially Writer docs, unless I'm mistaken, then there may well be OO
devs able to work on this issue.
This is on top of the ubuntu bug issue I have raised.
Cheers
Tony
