A database is probably overkill unless you are trying to take an attribute/column that has a one-to-many relationship to an individual (person has many, many phone number or a company has many, many rmployees with many, many different addresses or phone number or bosses or subordinates, i.e. a directory for all IBM employee’s (100,000 or 300,000 different entries).
Decide what you want to track, name the columns/fields in the order of what you think you would search on and build a Calc spreadsheet. Name the columns with meaningful labels.

Can anyone suggest a "relatively" simple database template for tracking Names, Postal Addresses, Telephone numbers-House, Telephone numbers-Cell, Telephone numbers-Businesses, Medical offices' data, etc? I started by exporting my Contacts from the GMAIL website for my one @gmail.com email account, and have that data now on my WIN10-x64 desktop PC as a .CSV file (to Excel). I also plan to eventually enter the data from a paper telephone/address book into a database. I am not certain which to use, (vers 4.1.5) AOO-Calc or AOO-Base. I also have Libre Office (Version: 6.3.4.2 (x64) Build ID: 60da17e045e08f1793c57c00ba83cdfce946d0aa) installed, but am even less skilled with its operation. 1. Should I go with AOO-Calc or attempt to learn more about AOO-Base for this project? 2. Any suggestion for a template file would be appreciated. Thanks for reading this. Regards and stay safe, VinceB.
