Think there is a misunderstanding of how libreoffice base works. It isn't a full database, but has options to link to various databases. Only tired it a few times and its been a while. I was using mariadb that was already running on my machine. On my Fedora 34 machine, it has the base under the office link in XFCE menu. It comes up with option to use HSQLDB Embedded. Don't have mariadb running on this notebook. libreoffice --base does the same thing from command line. Wish I had used it recently, but have had it work. Forget all the details. Have 7.2 and 7.3 also installed, and they give same results libreoffice7.2 --base libreoffice7.3 --base On 2 May 2022 at 12:50, Robert Moskowitz wrote: Date sent: Mon, 2 May 2022 12:50:56 -0400 Subject: Re: LibreOffice Base?
