Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base record access unacceptably slow

Hi :)

It might be time to cut Base loose.  Most versions of MS Office don't include 
Access.  Gnome Office doesn't have a database program.  Perhaps Office Suites 
just don't need an integrated program to do this sort of stuff.  Maybe Calc is 
enough.  There are a few alternatives on the market for people that really need 
a database.  To move forwards Base needs a serious commitment and a strong 
vision of where it wants to get to.  If we cut it loose then LibreOffice as a 
whole is freed from a lot of dependencies and stuff that the other apps don't 
need.  So, lets just drop Base.  


Regards from
Tom :)

As a matter of fact you can disable/remove Java, hit F4 ... connect, 
query, edit and dump.
If I would convert our Java databases and remove Java from our systems 
nobody would notice the change.
