Actually most users of different backend db will be familiar with the

between Base and the backend and instructions on connecting to that backend.
The problem is, I think, that Base does some "pre-processing" to check the SQL, which
causes a problem, particularly in this context (non-standard SQL).  Although there are
some helpful points to it are there enough?

Another question is whether a generic connector versus a specific connector (say for MySQL) will more problematic. I would hope a specific connector would address using some of the extensions which a generic connector probably would not. Also, I would expect Base to lag behind the current release of most backends. New features in the current release may not be supported by Base or the connector. The severity of this issue probably depends on whether the db project/vendor explicitly supports using Base as a front end or are they supplied by others (independent or AOO/LO).

I prefer to use Base for entry forms and predefined queries and use other db specific tools for administrative tasks and db design.
