Hi :
i would go with Andreas' suggestion. An external back-end but finding a small
non-Java-dependant one might be tricky. MySql and it's fork (successor?)
MariaDb are probably too heavy. Is Postgresql better for smaller databases?
If you have to have java then the best one seems to be 6u21. If you can get it
all working with a newer version then great but past the 6u24 they seem to
cause increasing problems. I was really hoping that 3.5.x would allow people
to use java 7. I didn't realise there was already an 8!! Has 7 already been
found to have serious security issues?
Regards from
Tom :)

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen out there.
I am confused -- can you help me? 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. On
my main-PC (AMD Athlon II X3 445, Win7Prof/32bit) the LO's Base caused the
program to stop (Write&Calc work OK). 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.
