Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Urgent Base problem

Hi :)
I think the point Mark was making was to switch away from using the embedded back-end to pretty 
much any external one.  Which is what you often suggest too.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Replacing one excellent databse engine with another excellent (much bigger) database engine will 
not solve any problem.

I run a HSQLDB server and it is the most reliable and fast little software on that Windows machine. 
On my Linux laptop I run the exact same Java software in cached mode, just like the embedded one 
but as an independent process with database files outside the Base document.

The "embedded HSQLDB" works like an extension. Every time you access the package data, the database 
gets installed to <office temp>. When you close the last connection to the installed database, the 
database is repackaged into the .odb "document". As the database grows, this thread consumes more 
and more time and during that time there must not happen anything serious to the office suite.
IMHO HSQLDB is a well thought choice for a multi-platform database. However, databases should be 
installed as extension packages so the user data won't be shuffled this way.
