Re: [libreoffice-users] Changing data in a MySQL-table using Base

Hi Tom,
Looks like this might be the only choice in the mid/long term. It's a real pity,
however. I have to write reports based on tables in my database quite often and
have defined numerous reports using the Report Writer (I hope that THAT piece
of software will be with us for a while yet!!). Of course I can re-define the
reports on the basis of a csv-file imported to the writer, but this is definitely
more work, not an advertisement for LO and not ideal by any means.
Regarding using a different front-end, I will have a look at programs such as
phpMyAdmin - again, in my mind !no comparison!
Thanks
H.S.
