Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Native MySQL-connection

MySQL is NOT owned by Oracle.

InnoDB, the only relational engine supported/used by MySQL IS owned by
Oracle and Oracle has been in the process of removing it from "free"
releases of MySQL.

If you want a REAL database, you install PostgreSQL.  This is a really
database though and requires a bit of planning.

If all you need is some form of storage and you don't care about data
integrity, use SQLite.
