Before I begin, I will plead ignorance of how these things really happen.
It appears that what should be happening is that the database should
always be external, but whether it is placed inside the same folder.
To the user, the interpretation of 'internal' would be that it is within
it's own folder and 'external' would be that the actual database is
somewhere else during set-up.
In this way, the database (I assume) could easily be copied and
re-attached either 'internally' or 'externally'.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks
Paul

How does switching to Firebird solve the issue of an embedded, all in

creating a db) to use embedded model or the split model.
Any embedded DB engine (HSQL or Firebird or any other) won't solve the
Base [R]DBMS embedding problems. Only external DB engines can be
reliable.
Using an external DBMS is up to you. Base/LibO can be setup accordingly.

That is my point. That is why Base needs to make setting up an external
db easy - like when the db is being created. Check one box for the
embedded model, another for the split/external model. Appropriate Help
infornation will be needed. While they are at it, how about an option
to do mariadb or mysql external db instead of just HSQL or Firebird?
