Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [MariaDB Announce] MariaDB 5.5.30 now available

     I agree. That will go into the chapter on using Base to connect to 
various data sources. I think that was originally scheduled to be 
chapter 8 or 9, but I think this chapter should be moved up to chapter 5.
     Personal experience: I used synaptic to completely remove mariadb 
including the config files. Then when I tried to reinstall MySQL, 
synaptic insisted on installing a mariadb file instead of the mysql 
file. So, I reinstalled Ubuntu 12.04. Now I have MySQL back.
