Currently in enterprise migration there are still two big gaps : Macros and Databases. IIRC a few years before when we talked about this, the solutions were that we'd help the customers to use *real* rational databases like MySQL/Mariadb, …etc., with some simple web interfaces (MySQL admin?) to replace Access. After all, Access or Base is just(?) front-end agents of these real databases. -- Franklin Weng, Member, Board of Director & Certification Commitee The Document Foundation, Kurfürstendamm 188, 10707 Berlin, DE Gemeinnützige rechtsfähige Stiftung des bürgerlichen Rechts Legal details: https://www.documentfoundation.org/imprint -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: design+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
