[libreoffice-users] Frustrated Base Users / Errors in Base 3.3 (OO 3.2 work beautifully)

Hi All

I agree the embedded HSQL db, for me at least is redundant, but, if you 
are coming solely from an Access background, then it quite possibly is 
an essential component.

Also, the idea of the Single Base file, I think is essential, and makes 
distributions of your DB front make more sense. Already, to alot of 
people OO is new, if you then say, I have a database for you, please 
unzip all these files, as opposed to saying, here is your database file, 
then you reduce the user errors. Obviously, I do complicate matters 
slightly, by using a MySQL database as a backend, but that stems from, 
problems I had in the pas with HSQL, and also because originally I 
migrated from Access to MySQL for the data backend. So, to remove the 
option of the single file database, would be a very bad idea, and a 
retrograde, step, as opposed to effectively a simple regression, until 
Base is stabilized.

This issue, isn't just an LO issue, it is also present in OO3.3, so 
between OO and LO, I have faith that the issues will be resolved 1 way 
or another.

I have also raised an OO issue,

http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=116878

So, if there are no LO base devs, although the forms in Base are 
essentially Writer docs, unless I'm mistaken, then there may well be OO 
devs able to work on this issue.

This is on top of the ubuntu bug issue I have raised.

Cheers

Tony
