Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base record access unacceptably slow

Hi Tom,

When the first problems showed up for me about 6 months ago, it was 
recommended to go back to the Java 1.6.0.22 from 1.6.0.24. I have my 
database on 4 computers, and could never make things work with getting a 
previous version installed, so I gave up and just tolerated the 
situation. Also, I had security concerns going backwards since, as I 
understand it, among other things updated Java versions have have 
security issues fixed. I'm relatively good with Ubuntu, but far from an 
expert. What we all know is that Java is the problem. Can someone give 
us instructions on how to use the LibreOffice front end with a database 
that doesn't require Java. I see that you had said that LibreOffice may 
be moving to sqlite? Is that a solution that anyone could help us with?

Don
