Hello,
My understanding is that the .odb file format is XML-based (?), so I
wondered if there was a way to do a daily dump of a remote PostreSQL
database to a .sql file (DDL and DML included), and then covert / export
/ iteratively read the SQL into an offline LibreOffice database (as XML?)?
Thanks,
Derrick
Base is primarily a translator between various backends and LibreOffice.
It does however use HyperSQL [1, 2] to create stand alone databases.
[1] http://hsqldb.org/
[2] http://hsqldb.org/web/hsqlUsing.html
This is a relational database engine written in Java.
The user guide can be found here...

I believe the XML ODB file your are alluding to contains the information
on views, forms, reports and connections -- *not data*.
Apparently HyperSQL has a transfer tool that can be used to dump and
restore data from various backends.

I suggest you visit their forum on help regarding use of this tool.
