Hi :)
Last i heard the Postgresql people were working more closely with Base than the
MariaDb people who seem to be busy with their own side of things. No word at
all from the MySql community. The MySql connector apparently works with
MariaDb or at least we have never had anyone grumbling about it.
MariaDB is designed as a drop-in replacement for MySQL. It uses the same
file names as MySQL so programs/apps that depend on MySQL should not
break when switching to MariaDB.
I keep forgetting about SQLite. It sounds likely to be light but is it free of
java?
According to Wikipedia it is written in C

Hi :
i would go with Andreas' suggestion. An external back-end but finding a small
non-Java-dependant one might be tricky. MySql and it's fork (successor?)
MariaDb are probably too heavy. Is Postgresql better for smaller databases?
A small database back-end that might be suitable is SQLite. Personally I
prefer MySQL/MariaDB over Postgresql because more third-party
documentation is available and I think Postgresql is heavier.
If you have to have java then the best one seems to be 6u21. If you can get it
all working with a newer version then great but past the 6u24 they seem to
cause increasing problems. I was really hoping that 3.5.x would allow people
to use java 7. I didn't realise there was already an 8!! Has 7 already been
found to have serious security issues?

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen out there.
I am confused -- can you help me? I recently installed LibreOffice-v3.4.5 after beeing a happy OO-user in many
many years. I now need to make a couple of relational databases (subforms&-reports) and decided to try
LibreO's Base. On my main-PC (AMD Athlon II X3 445, Win7Prof/32bit) the LO's Base caused the program to stop
(Write&Calc work OK). I uninstalled LO, removed folders via WinExplorer, rebooted, installed LOv3.4.5 again
and when asked for a new JRE I tried to understand the instructions found and first installed JRE8
(jre-8-ea-bin-b21-windows-i586-13_jan_2012.exe) and then JRE7 (jre-7u2-windows-i586.exe) and loaded both as
instructed into LO (LO-page: tools/options/LibreOffice/java). Now LO didn't stop but neither of the JREs seem to
be sufficient /"LibreO requires a JRE to perform this task. The selected JRE is defective. Please select
and install a new JRE/" and then "/connection to datasource ("db-name") could not be
established -- no Java
installation could be found; check installation/". I did my best several
times.
Note. After doing exactly same install process on my laptop (Win7Prem/64bit)
the LO(64bit), Base included, works fine.
Did I do something wrong, wrong versions, is it the 32bit make of LO or the
LO-Base itself, is the JRE(32bit) wrong, -- or what? I like the graphical
interface but I don't want to go back to OO and I don't want to buy a MSAccess,
and for my simple needs a MySQL/PHP/Apache seems too heavy to learn.
Thanks in advance.
