Is OOo 2.0 furnished with a complete database feature or only a front

Yes but it needs a working JRE.
Thanks for the help. So, I'll need Mysql (or do you recommend another
back end?). As to JRE, does Java Runtime come with SuSE and get
loaded on boot up?
SuSE probably includes JRE. However, OOo 2.0 seems to require the 1.5
version of JRE (also known as version 5.0). Using JRE 1.4.2 causes some
unnecessary crashes and other problems in OOo 2.0. The latest version of JRE
is available at: www.java.com.
When JRS answered your question with a yes, he was saying that OOo 2.0 can
be used as the front end to a database such as MySQL AND it has its own
relational database using the HSQL database engine. More information on how
to use it is in the manual you have.
Thank you for the information! I am glad I can use the database with
OOo 2.0 without having to install yet another application (viz. Mysql)
