Hi :)
I agree too but i think we have to agitate to get something done. So far the
only response i got was an unhelpful RMS quote. I have a Gandhi one "First
they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.".
Which means we have all 4 steps to work through but since some fairly major
companies would benefit it might be possible to get through most of those steps
quite fast.
Could TDF join
http://montyprogram.com/commercial/
Would that help?
TDF is not the type of organisation where we wait to see what "they" do. It's
up to us to work out what we need and from who and go get it.
Regards from
Tom :)

Heinz,
I completely agree. LO without a function Base won't fly. Either TDF recognizes
this - by DOING something - or we have our answer.

Hallo Andreas,
In my view, BASE "falling apart" would mean LO's "death sentence" in the long
run! Anybody in even the simplest business environment will want to write
documents based on data stored in business-critical databases (and I think I
am right in assumung that relational DBs have been the standard now for
decades!).
Does anybody REALLY think that a package like LO can survive if it ignores
such an important sector of users? I sure don't!!!

I am not giving up hope yet for LO 3.4.2 - especially since it targets

Isn't there a OpenSource fork of MySQL called MariaDB?!?

Dear Heinrich,
Face it: There is not a single LO developer doing anything Base related.
The Base component will fall apart sooner or later. Writer's mail merge
and bibliography will be spreadsheets, form controls will be mere
gimmicks and nobody except you and me and some hundreds of professionals
will notice the severe loss.

Andreas
