I recently installed LibreOffice-v3.4.5 after beeing a happy OO-user in many many years. I now need to make a couple of relational databases (subforms-reports) and decided to try LibreO's Base.

I uninstalled LO, removed folders via WinExplorer, rebooted, installed LOv3.4.5 again and when asked for a new JRE I tried to understand the instructions found and first installed JRE8 (jre-8-ea-bin-b21-windows-i586-13_jan_2012.exe) and then JRE7 (jre-7u2-windows-i586.exe) and loaded both as instructed into LO (LO-page: tools/options/LibreOffice/java). Now LO didn't stop but neither of the JREs seem to be sufficient /LibreO requires a JRE to perform this task. The selected JRE is defective. Please select and install a new JRE/ and then /connection to datasource (db-name) could not be established -- no Java installation could be found; check installation/. I did my best several times. Note. After doing exactly same install process on my laptop (Win7Prem/64bit) the LO(64bit), Base included, works fine. Did I do something wrong, wrong versions, is it the 32bit make of LO or the LO-Base itself, is the JRE(32bit) wrong, -- or what? I like the graphical interface but I don't want to go back to OO and I don't want to buy a MSAccess, and for my simple needs a MySQL/PHP/Apache seems too heavy to learn. Thanks in advance.

Re: [libreoffice-users] How get LibreO-Base working?
Hi :) Last i heard the Postgresql people were working more closely with Base than the MariaDb people who seem to be busy with their own side of things. No word at all from the MySql community. The MySql connector apparently works with MariaDb or at least we have never had anyone grumbling about it. I keep forgetting about SQLite. It sounds likely to be light but is it free of java?

No word at all from the MySql community. The MySql connector apparently works with MariaDb or at least we have never had anyone grumbling about it. MariaDB is designed as a drop-in replacement for MySQL. It uses the same file names as MySQL so programs/apps that depend on MySQL should not break when switching to MariaDB. I keep forgetting about SQLite. It sounds likely to be light but is it free of java?
