Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base Field Defaut Disables Save

Hi :)

Our Documentation Team will need volunteers that have some understanding of 
Base.  


There is likely to be help available in transferring OpenOffice's community 
documentation into our Alfresco content management system.  Documentation goes 
through a series of stages before reaching proof-reading.  A document is 
downloaded from Alfresco, edited in Writer or something and then re-uploaded 
either to the same stage or moving it on one stage until it reaches final 
proof-reading.  Screen-shots can't be done in Windows but that still leaves a 
lot of small edits that can make a huge difference.  


If anyone following or involved in this thread is willing to give it a try then 
please feel free to join the documentation teams mailing list.  


Regards from
Tom :)

Thanks for the advice.  By "mixed-mode" you mean the use of HSQLDB front end 
with MySQL (or other) backend?

I've been trying to read what documentation there is.  Not much.  I find that as 
soon as I get beyond what I already understand, there is a presumption that I 
that I have a working knowledge of SQL, which I don't.  


So, since my goal is multi-user database, for which I now see that I need MySQL 
anyway, I figure I should turn to learning MySQL. 


Cheers,
             tod
