Current revision

This article is not up to date, or it needs structural or stylistic changes to conform with the rest of this wiki.

NeoOffice Base allows you to either connect to an external database (MySQL, dBase, Calc, etc.) or to create an "embedded database" using the included HSQL database engine. In addition to entering and editing data, you can create Queries, Views, and Forms, as well as access any registered datasource in Writer and Calc documents.

Contents

Tips and Hints in the Wiki

Note that some of the pages are "stubs" consisting mostly of links to discussions on trinity.

Additional tips can be found on the New Articles Needed page, which contains links to stub pages and/or threads in trinity that need to be developed into full blown articles.
