Regards, VinceB. Vince, I use Base as a front end (client) to my Mariadb (MySQL) databases. I use it mainly for inventory maintenance with several tables of items and thousands of records on some tables. I also have my music and video library on it and print quarterly reports (listings) of what I have. It also helps keep me from buying something I already have. HTH.

I know a couple of people who use BASE as a front end for SQLite. Somewhere in the AOo website, but neither in the template section, nor in the section that explains using BASE, are four or five BASE templates, for a music database. In either the AOo or LibO template repository are: * A recipe database; * An inventory system; > and may give me reason to reconsider using a DBM rather than a spreadsheet > tool in some instances. Databases tend to be far less destructive of data than spreadsheets are. # On a personal level, I much prefer SQLite as a database engine. jonathon - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
