Hi :)
Base is a great front-end. One of the really awesome features is that it makes it easier to
connect to a range of different 3rd party back-ends that would hold the data of the database. So,
it makes Base highly scalable.
MariaDb/MySql is probably a tad heftier than most people need if they just need an address book for
a couple of hundred people.
If you would like to find out more about Base and databases generally then the first couple of
chapters of the Base guide are well worth reading
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications
First i would read the chapter in the Getting Started Guide on that page.
Regards from
Tom :)

I am somewhat confused by these messages about Maria DB. Is Libre office able to access Maria Db
files? How does that work? I don't have Maria DB on my computer but it looks like a good thing.

Hi :)
Base users that are currently using MySql/MariaDb might be interested in the events that are after
the announcement of the new release of MariaDb.
It would be great if someone on the Postgresql mailing lists could let us know of significant
announcements from them. For MariaDb i try to do one for beta-testing and 1 for full release.
MariaDb is a drop-in replacement for, but develops faster than, MySql. Also it's run by the
community in much the same way as LibreOffice, Firefox and so on.

Tom :)

The MariaDB project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of MariaDB 5.3.6. This is a
stable (GA) release. It includes MySQL 5.1.62, some performance improvements, and several bug fixes.
Most importantly, MariaDB 5.3.6 includes a fix for a bug which, under certain rare circumstances,
allowed a user to connect with an invalid password. This is a serious security issue. We recommend
upgrading from older versions as soon as possible.

The MariaDB-specific book, MariaDB Crash Course, by Ben Forta, is an excellent way to learn more
about MariaDB. This book - for beginner to intermediate level users - will get you up and running
with MariaDB, even if you've never used a database before. More information is available at:
http://forta.com/books/0321799941/
- - User Feedback plugin - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
MariaDB includes a User Feedback plugin. This plugin is disabled by default. If enabled, it submits
basic, completely anonymous MariaDB usage information. This information is used by the developers
to track trends in MariaDB usage to better guide development efforts.
If you would like to help make MariaDB better, please add
"plugin-load=feedback.so" to your my.cnf file! On Windows, add
"feedback=ON" to your my.ini file, or click the checkbox during the
installation of the MSI package.
See http://kb.askmonty.org/en/user-feedback-plugin for more information.
