Base only may limit what you can do particularly with network access For Base with another back end you will need to set up the connection in Base and many common options are supported. Using another database completely can be tricky, some do not have nice front end tools. Two that do are MySQL/MariaDB (Linux uses MySQL Workbench) and PostgreSQL (pgadmin). SQLite is another possibility but it does not easily support all the data types that may be in a database. None of these will require any programming but will require varying knowledge of SQL to use effectively. -- Jay Lozier [email protected] -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
