Well, I seem to have started off quite a discussion. It's interesting that
Andreas seems to agree with me that OO isn't really for programming. And the
use of ODF is  extremely important for intercommunicability, a point which
isn't taken by many MS addicts.

But I'm not trying to use a database to write a form letter - I'm not even a
fully-fledged business, just a freelance pianist. But I do like to play with
applications, and occasionally write my own where I can't find a suitable
share- or free-ware one. And Base just doesn't work well enough - too many
bugs and I suspect not enough will to drive proper develop,emt - hence
Andrea's comments on "Potemkin".

Tom's comment on 4 languages being available is fine, but as the API's so
impenetrable I feel it would have been better idea concentrate on getting
one language right rather than four languages wrong! Others are at liberty
to disagree.

What database doe you think works better than OpenOffice or LibreOffice?


I prefer to use MariaDB/MySQL and use Base as a front end. There are other FOSS rdms available that might be more suitable to your needs.
