Re: [libreoffice-users] Creating a General Ledger in Base

While I do not have and example, I suggest that you look around on the 
internet for what is already Ledger designed against what LO Base can 
connect to.

For instance, you could download mysqlledger from 
https://github.com/johnathanmartin/mysqlledger

Connect it to LibreOffice Base 
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/diy-it-guy/diy-connect-libreoffice-base-to-a-mysql-database/

And then start working on the front end the way you want it to look.

On the other hand, there are free open source accounting packages that 
almost always start with general ledger. Like multi-platform "GnuCash".

GnuCash by default stores data in an xml format. Starting with version 
2.4, GnuCash financial data can be stored in a SQL database using 
SQLite3, MySQL or PostgreSQL.

Make the parts from the accounting package you think are missing in 
Base. Then back-in to the program to build entirely around a Base front-end.

Base and FireBird are coming along if your going to build from scratch.

Hope this helps.
