Re: [libreoffice-users] definition of flat/relational database

Hi :)
I thought Queries were in Sql but Base mostly allows you to build them up in a gui rather than 
having to learn the Sql that it gets translated into?  I learned a little Sql but not enough to be 
useful so i prefer using the point&click type gui.  

Also Base is a bit different form MS's version in that forms are best done in Writer and that makes 
it easier to format forms decently without having to learn a complicated and different gui.  
Access's forms seemed to switch the Alt and Ctrl keys around for thing like selecting fields and 
stuff.  

Quite possibly i have completely missed the point.  I got confused by that 1st sentence.  Is there 
soem attempt to reinvent the wheel rather than use Qt libraries (or whatever) for pop-up boxes and 
stuff?  
Regards from
Tom :)
