Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base Report Builder

Hi :)
Lol!  I liked that post.  Very funny.  

I thought PostgreSQL was for large databases?  Also i thought Firebird was supposed to be quite 
good?  I think that really is a large one though so possibly not what i am looking for.  I'm hoping 
it is because i think one of my bosses is buying a front-end that uses it and i was hoping to use 
the same back-end for other databases.  

Regards from
Tom :)
