You are right: because Base holds all the data in memory until shutdown, embedded HSQLDB databases can loss data if shutdown is not done correctly. MySQL keeps the data stored within its installed folder. Base connects to the MySQL server which accesses the data. The same thing is true for you favorite MySQL replacement (Mariadb).

Hi :)
Dan, does that data-loss happen when you use MySql? I thought it only happened with the embedded HsqlDb?

        As far as Base is concerned, I have not been having any
    problems with 3.4.6, 3.5.6, nor 3.6.2. (I just installed 3.6.3.2
    which is a release candidate. For my personal databases I use the
    most, I use MySQL as the backend with any of these LO Base
    versions as the front end. I work with Base 3.6.3.2 for my
    writing. This database is embedded and contains only sample data
    (no important data contained in it). As far as JRE, I use 1.6.0_24
    (openjdk). LO seems to prefer this.
        I also use AOO 3.4.1 at times. It seems to prefer the Openjdk
    1.7.0_07.
        The main problem with Base is the potential for data loss when
    the program is not shutdown properly. This can be avoided by
    extracting the data from the database file and then use Base to
    connect to the data. (The data files are extracted to a separate
    folder.) Unfortunately, it does not improve the speed of Base.

features are mostly in the 3.6.x or being lined-up for the 3.7.0. The 3.5.7 is likely to just have fixes for any lingering problems
    in the 3.5.6. Most of those fixes will be being merging into the
    3.6.3 and .4.  At least that's how i imagine it works. Certainly
    once that 3rd digit reaches .4 the branch seems a lot  more stable.
