That would only confuse most end users. The point is that the developers should make the most reasonable choice - Which is imho obviously to use exclusively an external client-server RDBMS. And since the driver for PostgreSQL already comes with LO that's the best choice. PostgreSQL is legendary for its robustness. Besides shipping with a reasonable default configuration for "home" use and being perfectly scalable up to a multi-master cluster of mainframes. The developers should rather focus their limited resources on fixing bugs with the Base client side (forms, reports, etc.). > Yes, I know that you can link to other back-end db's, but LO Base > doesn't create those db's - that has to be done ahead of time by > someone that is skilled with the particular db. With PgAdmin (which comes with PostgreSQL) it's as simple as creating a new document with LO.
