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

Hi :)
Last i heard the Postgresql people were working more closely with Base than the MariaDb people who 
seem to be busy with their own side of things.  No word at all from the MySql community.  The MySql 
connector apparently works with MariaDb or at least we have never had anyone grumbling about it.  

I keep forgetting about SQLite.  It sounds likely to be light but is it free of java?
Regards from
Tom :)

A small database back-end that might be suitable is SQLite. Personally I 
prefer MySQL/MariaDB over Postgresql because more third-party 
documentation is available and I think Postgresql is heavier.
