If the normal Base file is not reliable, why do we have it in the first place?
Either we (the community) must make it reliable, or we should abandon it and come with a reliable
alternative.
Not reliable is in fact not very acceptable. The documentation should describe when to use, and
when not to use base. Simply generalizing in the FACs is not the right way to go, I think.

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
