Hello everyone,
Quick note in passing. I fail to see how thr discussion on xml standards
implementations is of any interest to our users. May I (respectfully) suggest
that interested parties bring this conversation to our discuss list?
Thank you,

This is one way Base is more powerful than Access.
That's the whole point.
By not focusing on promoting Base as *the* generic client-side FOSS tool
for access to client-server RDBMs, they're missing a *HUGE* opportunity.
And since Rekall has vanished (despite being GPL), there's not much in

Hi :)
I am not sure if it has been covered in this thread but unlike spreadsheets
with databases you hardly ever read directly from the main tables.
Normally you have Queries that filter and do calculations. They look a
LOT like tables such as spreadsheets but they seldom contain ALL the data

When moving to GnuLinux (or GnuHurd, or Bsd, Solaris or other non-Windows
system) it's a good idea to use DistroWatch.
DW lists many useful websites for nearly every distro that exists or has

A suggestion from left field, but it will help you in the long run. Take a
look at the django project - https://www.djangoproject.com/. It is a
framework for creating database driven web sites. It is very easy to use
and very powerful. The framework automatically creates all the plumbing
I may be overestimating the simplicity of Base, but I suspect Base will
be far, far simpler than creating a Django project.
A Django project means actual coding, and a lot of it. Yes I know how
simple Django is, but it still requires a decent amount of coding. As I
understand it, Joel isn't a

Again, thanks Jim for your comment and the 2 interesting links.
I had to recognize that we need to get professional support of a BASE and CALC expert and hope that
this expert knows if a BASE DB with macros for data export into CALC will run on W7 and Linux.

A couple of questions:
(1) Has anyone here used it and does it make writing macros for Base
easier?
I looked at the examples a few weeks ago, and it seemed to me as a
clearer approach to database programming as the UNO-way.

Hi Joel,
Some comments on your diagram, in the order I thought of them, not of
importance:
1) I tend to use integers for primary keys. Smallints only go into the
thousands, and most of the stuff I have worked on has needed to be able
to scale well beyond that. Even things that seem small to
Calibre is also a great idea/solution for this project, unless one of the
goals of the project is to learn about databases and how to use a database
