This is the first opportunity for feedback on the chapter - BG7402-CreatingADatabase_SF_FW_04May2022.odt in WIP folder.
The revised chapter is well written and much easier to read with a lot of good information. It's good to see it links the Getting Started Guide and includes the SQLite database. I'm most familiar with SQLite after working through it in detail to create this section for the current guide so I've focused on it as an example. Issues are noted in the comments and indicative text is given with tracked changes. The intention is for discussion. My overall view is the guide is too confusing for creating a simple SQLite database. The SQLite process is fairly simple but it is confused by being guided through a complicated install with links to many other places with exceptions to follow. I'm very familiar with the process but I couldn't keep track of the SQLite process using a pdf on a PC. Options should really be tested with a few typical users, especially the likes of SQLite which is well down the list. I suggest a summary after each heading where other parts of the guide are referred to for the details. This would likely be enough for many users leaving the references for additional guidance as required. The alternative would be to start with creating the simplest database and work through to the more complex. The connecting with ODBC Initial preparation has two clearly separate parts which, to make it easier to navigate, need to be split under headings for Install ODBC Driver and Configure database ODBC connection. ODBC driver installation is generally well done but configuring database ODBC connection refers to installation instructions that don't exist and vary by OS.
