Re: [libreoffice-users] looking for help on Base

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
It's good to hear some success with Base.  I think it might help to have a lot 
of trivial issues amongst the bug-reports to help potential new devs learn 
their 
way into the code.  The key word there is "might".  


The documentation team would appreciate any help with consolidating various 
guides they have found and perhaps others into something like the state of the 
guides for the other apps but it's a major challenge because Base is 
unpredictably quirky between one release and another.  

Regards from
Tom :)

Hi Tom,

I've been a Base user for 7 or 8 years. As soon as Base came out I switched to 
it. I had first used a DOS based database, then Access, then Paradox, and then 
Base. For my needs, Base works very well. I used the guide from OpenOffice, 
Getting Started With Base to get things setup The present version can be found 
here, as well as other helps: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Database
There are several small bugs in Base that are more of an annoyance than 
anything 
else. It is super fast (now that the Linux Java workaround has been found), and 
it is much easier to share the data between my computers than it was with 
Paradox. While they might not have developers working on it, there isn't 
anything I need to have changed. The mail merge with writer works perfectly. 
I've never lost any data. So even if there are not any developers working on 
it, 
I feel it is a worthy program/application. Anytime I've had an issue of needing 
to know how to do something, I've always been able to find an answer with 
on-line searches.

Re: [libreoffice-users] looking for help on Base

Hi :)
It is not a good time to migrate to Base.  Hopefully there are other front-ends 
that could be used instead?  Base has no devs working on it so bug-reports are 
not getting fixed and there are no plans to attract devs to work on Base 
anytime 
soon.  

Regards from
Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] looking for help on Base

[Simon Cropper (The foss Workflow Guides)]

Hi Guys,

Another option if you are migrating from windows is to establish a 
VirtualBox that runs Windows and install Office on this. You can also do 
this on VMWare, although I find VirtualBox a lot faster.


The Windows Platform on the VM have samba shares mapped as network 
drives and they are blissfully unaware that the data being accessed are 
on my Ubuntu filesystem. Data can be readily manipulated in a Microsoft 
Windows package and Linux-based package at practically the same time.


VMWare also provides tools to bundle your windows box into virtual 
machine, although I found this carried over too much 'baggage'. I just 
created an empty VM using VirtualBox and reinstalled Windows and Office.

Roberto,

It is possible to get SQLite to work on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. These are my 
notes on how I set it up on my machine...


Most of software in Ubuntu 10.04 can not directly access SQLite 
Databases and it is necessary to install unixODBC plus the SQLite Driver.


Installation of the unixODBC package (http://www.unixodbc.org/) can be 
easily done from the Ubuntu Software Centre. The website provides a link 
to the appropriate driver maintained by Carl Weirner.


Installation of the SQLite ODBC Driver
(http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/) is a little more involved.

The website provides a link to the appropriate linux download
(http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/sqliteodbc-0.88.tar.gz).
Download this file and extract the directory to a folder.

Open a terminal within the sqliteodbc-0.88 directory and run the 
following commands.


   ./configure
   sudo make install

Check that the drivers have been registered in /etc/odbcinst.ini. The 
configuration settings required for this file are outlined in the 
../sqliteodbc-0.88/README file. My installation did not require any 
changes as the odbcinst.ini file was correctly configured.


In order to have Ubuntu see you odbc database change the ~/.odbc.ini 
file so it includes the following data.


   [mysqlitedb]
   Description=My SQLite test database
   Driver=SQLite3
   Database=/home/username/databasename
   # optional lock timeout in milliseconds
   Timeout=2000

You should now be able to see the database in LibreOffice Base or other 
packages that can use ODBC drivers.

You can try to use ODBC,

But you will get mostly read access and you cannot use reports or forms 
from Access.


Why do you need the connection?

When I open Base if I choose to "connect to an existing database" the

That connection is Windows only.
Does this explain what you see on your computer?

[libreoffice-users] looking for help on Base

[Roberto Scotti]

the site  http://www.libreoffice.org/features/base/   states
"... provides native-support drivers for some of the most-widely
employed multi-user database engines: MySQL, Adabas D, MS Access..."

When I open Base if I choose to "connect to an existing database" the
list of available drivers doesn't include MS Access (or JET), it
includes only:
JDBC
JDBC Oracle
Adabas D
Foglio elettronico
dBASE
Testo
MySQL
ODBC

How do you activate the MS Access native-support driver?
Is a SQLite native-support driver available?
Many thanks, Roberto Scotti
