[libreoffice-marketing] Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base data-loss and other problems

Hi :)
I think it is fairly urgent that we remove any reference to Base having an internal back-end at 
all.  At least until after the one that is currently used has been replaced and that is likely to 
take several months
"Our current Base database back-end is HSQLDB - but this causes severe performance problems 
primarily around the frequency of Java to C++ transitions."
"currently when creating an embedded database we default to the Java-based HSQLDB database engine. 
That is somewhat unfortunate."
HsqlDB itself is not the problem.  It's our implementation of the ancient out-dated version.  That 
is compounded by fairly serious problems with having any Java apps on a computer these.  Anyone's 
loss of data is TDF's fault as thing stand.  


Please can we only talk about external back-ends and avoid mention of internal ones until the 
current situation is resolved?  

Regards from 

Tom :)
