Re: [libreoffice-users] How get LibreO-Base working?

Hi :
i would go with Andreas' suggestion.  An external back-end but finding a small non-Java-dependant 
one might be tricky.  MySql and it's fork (successor?) MariaDb are probably too heavy.  Is 
Postgresql better for smaller databases?  

If you have to have java then the best one seems to be 6u21.  If you can get it all working with a 
newer version then great but past the 6u24 they seem to cause increasing problems.  I was really 
hoping that 3.5.x would allow people to use java 7.  I didn't realise there was already an 8!!  Has 
7 already been found to have serious security issues?

Regards from
Tom :)

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen  out there.
I am confused -- can you help  me? I recently installed LibreOffice-v3.4.5 after beeing a happy 
OO-user in many many years. I now need to make a couple of relational databases (subforms 
&-reports) and decided to try LibreO's Base. On my main-PC (AMD Athlon II X3 445, Win7Prof/32bit) 
the LO's Base caused the program to stop (Write&Calc work OK). I uninstalled LO, removed folders 
via WinExplorer, rebooted, installed LOv3.4.5 again and when asked for a new JRE I tried to 
understand the instructions found and first installed JRE8 
(jre-8-ea-bin-b21-windows-i586-13_jan_2012.exe) and then JRE7 (jre-7u2-windows-i586.exe) and loaded 
both as instructed into LO (LO-page: tools/options/LibreOffice/java). Now LO didn't stop but 
neither of the JREs seem to be sufficient /"LibreO requires a JRE to perform this task. The 
selected JRE is defective. Please select and install a new JRE/" and then "/connection to 
datasource ("db-name") could not be established -- no Java
 installation could be found; check installation/". I did my best several times.
Note. After doing exactly same install process on my laptop (Win7Prem/64bit) the LO(64bit), Base 
included, works fine.
Did I do something wrong, wrong versions, is it the 32bit make of LO or the LO-Base itself, is the 
JRE(32bit) wrong, -- or what? I like the graphical interface but I don't want to go back to OO and 
I don't want to buy a MSAccess, and for my simple needs a MySQL/PHP/Apache seems too heavy to learn.
Thanks in advance.
