Hi Mark,


- multiple table query/update support

Multi-tabe query is available, surely?  Where it's not available is in 
file mode when there's no backing database engine.  Or having I missed 
somthing?

Multi-table update support is an SQL limitation, isn't it?

Sorry, I should have been more precise :

Lotus Approach allowed a user to create a form based on a query of a
collection of DBF tables and then be able to update them via the form
(or an update statement) - of course, relationships/foreign keys needed
to be involved, but it did work. This was a particular plus point over
the single flatfile driver that we have always had with OOo and now LO.
In other words, it allowed for updates/writes to cross-table flatfiles
as far as I can recall. You can not do this with the flatfile driver of
LO - only a single DBF file can be updated/written to at one time, and
as for Calc or Excel, well they are just read only datasources within
the framework of Base.


I don't know how Lotus/IBM did this, but it was a very, very, neat feature.

Alex
