Hi :)
+1
The Documentation Team are working on a Base Guide but it's very difficult. Any
help would be appreciated. The type of guide being worked on right now is to
fit on this page
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation
along with the guides for the other apps. At the very bottom of the page is a
good place to add links to other useful stuff. Feel free to add links or/and
join the docs team to perhaps get even more involved.
Regards from
Tom :)

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: export sql to odb?
Perhaps drifting off thread a little. I have a DBF database which dates
back many years - in fact to Lotus Works in MS DOS days. It works well
via LO Base, once one has worked out how to do it, which is far from
obvious. I have often wondered whether it is worth converting this to a
native LO database, ie on the lines of your mentioned HyperSQL. I guess
it is not, and in fact I would guess that most users only use Base as
an interface to other database formats.
The 'Help' in LO, practically identical to that in OOo, is far from
helpful and is pretty short of practical guidance. Every time I look at
it it leaves me confused. Maybe an 'idiots guide' to using Base in real
life situations, as part of the installation, is long over due. It
would reduce all these sorts of threads.

Base is primarily a translator between various backends and LibreOffice.
It does however use HyperSQL [1, 2] to create stand alone databases. [1]

This is a relational database engine written in Java.
