Re: [libreoffice-users] Indexing for Search not working?

Hi :)
Phew! :)  Thanks Dan.  So Postgresql and the rest should be fine too [crosses fingers].  It's good 
to know i haven't misunderstood or just got it wrong.  
Thanks and regards from
Tom :)

                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.

                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.

                unlikely to cause problems.  That 3rd digit is roughly
                like a "Service Pack" number, but divide it by 2 because
                MS only does 3 SPs whereas LO does 6 or 7.
> > > > > The 3.x.7 aims at avoiding introducing new
                features!  New 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.
