Greetings All,
I successfully warped up the application development project I described. Final
end-of-project stats were as follows:
Total
123,576 LOC's, 413 Modules (Classes/Modules/Forms/Reports), 264 Stored
Procedures, and fin!
It has a Front-End (FE) which is the bulk of that code, an automated replication application transferring data from the production JDE ERP system for use by the application I built, and finally I
developed for them an application server architecture to asynchronously process requests without tying up the FE application.
The legacy application this new one replaced had the following stats:
1,366 LOC's in 12 module(s)
So, getting finally back and replying...

Your post was requesting some guidance for "Serious application development with
LibreOffice and LibreOffice Basic". My reply was intended to communicate the fact
that LO Base is very limited when it
comes to serious uses.
I guess I can now see what you were communicating.
LO Base is not capable of connecting to an SQL based back end, and linking to a LO
Calc spreadsheet at the same time. <snip>
Is LO Calc spreadsheets really the preferable file format for LO Base data?
That one restriction was enough to disqualify LO Base from consideration for
what I consider to be a very simple application.
That is unfortunate.

At first I would like to use MySQL as the BE DB for use with
LibreOffice.
That's a B-A-D idea if you want to get your data back in a consistent
state with a certain reliability. Use PostgreSQL instead.
MySQL is trusted by this client organization to handle their production
website... LAMP software stack. Why would it suddenly not be reliable for back
office Client/Server use?
I guess for the moment I will leave the DB requirements in Access, and later
port them to Free Pascal / Lazarus when I have the time to get up-to-speed with
that cross platform serious development tool.
Thank you all for your helpful responses. Actually last week I came across a
link referring to StarOffice... I had forgotten that origin in the LibreOffice
history timeline!
Sincerely,
