------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Jan 6 13:58:48 -0800 2007 ------- One of the criticisms of OOo-Base, in comparison with MS-Access, is that the integrated hsqldb storage engine is only suitable for single-user work (whereas Access support multi-user databases, albeit through direct file access). Since OOo already ships with the hsqldb.jar included, this contains the hsqldb server. If the OpenOffice.org package set included a small application (with menu launcher) to launch instances of the hsqldb server (as a service on Windows, or daemon on *nix), this would be a wonderful way of providing SOHO users with a multi-user networked RDBMS system (avoiding the hassle of setting up and administrating MySQL/Postgresql etc.). Furthermore, OOo offers the most features with hsql so this is a good match (MySQL lacks relationships and the postgresql drivers are sub-par). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
