From the FAQ:
You can do mostly the same with OpenOffice as you can with MS Access.
Table design, query design, relation design, forms and reports. The big
difference is that OpenOffice doesn't ship any database (only dbase)
with it.
Okay, color me the eejit here, but if Base doesn't ship any database,
what exactly is the OpenOffice Database file format? Is that dbase?
Wow! It looks like that FAQ hasn't been updated since version 1.x!
Here's some more up to date information from
http://www.openoffice.org/product/base.html
"New to Version 2, BASE enables you to manipulate database data seamlessly
within OpenOffice.org. Create and modify tables, forms, queries, and
reports, either using your own database or BASE’s own built-in HSQL
database engine. BASE offers a choice of using Wizards, Design Views, or
SQL Views for beginners, intermediate, and advanced users."
