Re: [libreoffice-users] Libre Office Base
I have read with interest the comments about Libre Office. Over the years I have managed large (100 Million records and small databases ( 1 million records or less) using Oracle, running in Unix machines. I have also developed a number of small ( less than 100,000 records ) using a variety of data base software (e. g. Paradox, Dbase, MS Access etc ). Over the last few years, since I retired I have run Oracle on Linux. Mysql, and now Libre Base. For my current needs I have found Libre Base more than adequate. I use straight out of the box and use its internal data base engine. I currently run four data bases, the largest has about 10,000 records. I have found it possible to produce the reports I need and the data summaries etc just as easily as I could in MS Access or even Oracle. The developers deserve congratulations on producing this product. If I were forced to pay for MS products I would have to stop my computing since XP is no longer supported and I cannot afford to buy the latest windows and associated software. Like all software Libre Base has its quirks and the documentation probably needs improving but overall it is a very useful product. If problems occur it is well worth reading the available documentation and then if the solution is not obvious e-mail the list.

[libreoffice-users] Libre Office Base
Hi All I'm running two copies of LO Base here - and old one using HSQL embedded and a new one using MySQL. Firstly I notice is that if I sort the DB the sort only holds for the duration of the session. Is it possible to make a sort order stick. ie - I sort into Lastname then First Name and would like that to remain fixed. Second on the new MySQL version the Tick Boxes come out very small. Is it possible to enlarge these at all? My version of LO is 4.4.0.3 on PClinuxOS. Thanks for any help.
