Re: [libreoffice-users] Need help with Base

Hi :)
Good point!!

An external database is a really good approach.  Many people go for MySql
or MariaDb (unless using a Mac) but that's owned by Oracle and some worry
about the future of "free" or "Open Source" under Oracle.  Many go for
faster, lighter java back-ends such as Hsqldb as an external but others
worry about the whole java issue.

So Postgresql might well be a good choice.  They have put a lot of work
into building a decent connector for Base.
Regards from
Tom :)
