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 :)

One word of advice based on experience:

Avoid use of the "built in" database.

Use a proper client-server RDBMS. Preferrably PostgreSQL, as it's
reliable and the driver comes with LO.

Otherwise you *will* regret it the day your data has gone to Nirvana.

Sincerely,

Wolfgang
