Watch the HSQLDB module in Base. It catches people both in Win and Lin. Some parts are still not stable. If you can, I think it is probably better to link to an external db like MySQL, PostgreSQL etc. until the module is better behaved - unless you are a) feeling daring (as you write ;-) ) and b) a very tolerant support person for your staff/colleagues. You will also find that things are changing from one release to the next! One gotcha I found recently: Field definitions cannot be changed after saving the table, similar to OOo/SQLite under ODBC. If you are particularly interested in the database parts of OOo, monitor the dba user list for other people's comments etc.: http://dba.openoffice.org/servlets/SummarizeList?listName=users You can check the changelogs to see what has been released in each version : http://development.openoffice.org/releases/OpenOffice_org_trunk.html but the logs often lag by some time (for example the release notes for m65 are available but none yet published for m69) hth regards from an Aussie in CH Martin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
