Hello again,
As was mentioned in a reply to one of my remarks: Yes, there are a number of things missing in the LO-Front end to databases: Just ONE little thing eg.: When selecting tuples using the standard filter,
the selection criteria (max 3 in number) are too restricted.
Like -- eg. if I want to select tuples, where ((fielda = x or fielda = y) and fieldb = z) I cannot specify this (no parenthesis capability!). This kind of filter is naturally possible when accessing MySQL through
phpMyAdmin.
But then, it is not a big issue to quickly create a view using native SQL. So, while I would like to have
this capability, it doesn't really prevent me from using LO-Base.
On the other hand, trying to build a REAL application system using LO-Base and (eg.) Basic Macros and Forms is not really a choice. I suppose that M$-Access isn't fit to handle this kind of requirements either. For this kind of system I am looking at frameworks such as Symfony2 at the moment.
Keep up the good work!
Heinrich

It has cemented the decision I took last year to move to Base+MySQL - which works very well indeed!!

learned a lot about base, mysql and databases.

Tom, thanks for all your input!

Hi :)
I have been told, off-list, that i am quite wrong about what i have been
saying about Base.

I'm not clear exactly which bits of what i have said are wrong. Almost all of what i said was things i had picked-up from experts on this mailing list
or discussions elsewhere, rather than from my own direct experience or
knowledge of the issues. It would be nice to know where i am wrong to help
me be less wrong in the future!

Also it would be good for such corrections to be in this thread if possible because it has been a really good thread with a lot of good feedback about
different people's knowledge and experience.

Finally if i have given people a wrong impression about Base then it would
be nice to be able to fix that.
Regards from
Tom :)

Yeh, in attempting to clarify i did add an extra confusion! Sorry! The HsqlDb version 1.8 is only a problem when using the internal version in Base. However Base doesn't give you much choice about what to use as the internal back-end. Just the heavily tweaked and broken version of 1.8.

I think Noel (& Marion)'s good experience of H2 being sooo much better
than
Base is purely down to them moving away from the internal back-end in
Base.  The version of HsqlDb mentioned by Noel is the 1.8 which
Andreas
identified as being the version used as the internal back-end in Base.

The problem is _not_ a particular version of a particular database. If HSQL 1.8 works for you, even that version works as a rock stable, fast
and reliable backend to your Base document.

Heinrich demanded an _interface_ to handle the big irons. He was not
talking about a particular version of some particular big iron. He did
not tell us what is wrong with the current interface. From the view
point of database developers, there are several missing features. From
the view point of someone who wants to build a serial letter from his
spreadsheet, Base is the big and dark mystery to be avoided entirely and the serial letter wizard does not mention that one of its products is a
Base document together with the serial letter.
