     Today, I filed a bug with LO. I want Base to be changed so that it 
is only a front end for HSQLDB which would continue to be the database 
engine (RDBMS) for LO. The database files (data, log, properties, and 
script) would be removed from the .odb file and written to a selected 
folder. This is what happens now if a person uses Base to connect to the 
latest version of HSQLDB. (Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Java > Class

     Very little code will be needed, and some of the code removed to 
do this.
