Tom, If you read your posting again, it implies that MariaDb is "owned
by Oracle". That would be news to me and, I suspect, the MariaDb
development team.

Hi :)
Good point!!
An external database is a really good approach. Many people go for MySql
or MariaDb (unless using a Mac) but that's owned by Oracle and some worry
about the future of "free" or "Open Source" under Oracle. Many go for
faster, lighter java back-ends such as Hsqldb as an external but others
worry about the whole java issue.
So Postgresql might well be a good choice. They have put a lot of work
into building a decent connector for Base.

Tom :)

I'm new user of LO Base, we are transitioning from MS Access, and I
need to redesign our db from it.
One word of advice based on experience:
Avoid use of the "built in" database.
Use a proper client-server RDBMS. Preferrably PostgreSQL, as it's
reliable and the driver comes with LO.
Otherwise you *will* regret it the day your data has gone to Nirvana.
Sincerely,
Wolfgang
