[libreoffice-users] Re: [MariaDB Announce] New MariaDB releases 5.1.66, 5.2.13, 5.3.11, 5.5.28a are now available

Hi :)
Just thought people here might be interested to know of last week's announcement from MariaDb.  It 
is a drop-in replacement for MySql so hopefully any databases you have created in MySql should be 
easily opened by MariaDb.  I would still do a back-up though in order to ensure Murphy's Law plays 
in your favour.  (ie if you have taken the trouble to do a back-up you wont need it and will 
probably feel like it was a waste of time.)


MariaDb and MySql are fairly hefty good back-ends that are even more useful when using Base as the 
front-end.  Other good back-ends include Postgresql which might actually be slightly better at 
integrating with Base as they helped us a bit with some sort of connector or something apparently.  
These are all great if you have tons of data but possibly a bit more than you need for a small and 
simple address list of just a few hundred (or so) people.  
Regards from 

Tom :)
