While NeoOffice 1.2 Alpha and OpenOffice.org/X11 1.1.x do not contain a database component similar to Microsoft Access, it is still possible to create a database (this is handy if you don't have access to MySQL or another external database).
Max offered the following tips on trinity:
There is a simple database functionality in OOo and thus Neo: use the dbase file format. This is not a full-featured database but it works for most cases.
How-to:
- display data-source pane
- create a new data source
- select a dbase format
- choose the folder (directory) where the table files will be stored. If the folder already contains .dbf files, the tables they describe are automatically added to the database. This is a simple way to import dBase files
- close the panel
- add a table to the base, defining colums as you need.
- open the recently created table and add/modify/delete item.
- use the data-source as planned (mailing and such)
See the NeoOffice Help for details.
Before editing this wiki page I (Max) checked the above process.
