All,

Was reading the FAQ at https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/FAQ_%28Base%29
and came upon some insight that worries me.  Under the heading "So why
should I avoid 'embedded databases'?" it goes on to say the normal Base
file is not reliable, so use a split file, the points to Microsoft docs.

My questions are:
1. How robust are embedded Base files created by the GUI?
2. If they are not that reliable, what is the LO Base procedure to
create a split database?
3. Anything else I need to know?

I'm going ahead with using Base for a project for now.  Once the data
has stabilized (fields, field type, number of tables), I'll move to
either Mysql or Mariadb.

Thanks,
Dave
