(I just installed 3.6.3.2 which is a release candidate. For my personal databases I use the most, I use MySQL as the backend with any of these LO Base versions as the front end. I work with Base 3.6.3.2 for my writing. This database is embedded and contains only sample data (no important data contained in it). As far as JRE, I use 1.6.0_24 (openjdk). LO seems to prefer this. >>> I also use AOO 3.4.1 at times. It seems to prefer the Openjdk 1.7.0_07. >>> The main problem with Base is the potential for data loss when the program is not shutdown properly. This can be avoided by extracting the data from the database file and then use Base to connect to the data. (The data files are extracted to a separate folder.) Unfortunately, it does not improve the speed of Base. >>> >>>--Dan >>> >>>On 10/18/2012 07:15 AM, Pertti Rönnberg wrote: >>>> Tom, >>>> That info of yours is not only interesting but very important for me as an user - and most certainly for others too. >>>> Unfortunately you add that "it is how you imagine it works"! >>>> >>>> Would it be possible that you check that with the board or the devs themselves and then confirm it to us? >>>> If I were you I definitely would like to be sure about the proceedings - (a) if such really has been settled or (b) if not settled? >>>> >>>> Some posts ago I asked what version is for the time being considered the most reliable, especially regarding Base? >>>> -- and what version of JRE is in that version needed for Base (if anymore needed)? >>>> I have read the release notes and got an picture but what is your opinion? >>>> My version now is LibO3.4.6 on Win7Pro/32 and Win7/64. >>>> Pertti Rönnberg >>>> >>>> >>>> On 18.10.2012 12:41, Tom Davies wrote: >>>>> Hi :) >>>>> The upgrade from 3.5.x to 3.5.7 is extremely unlikely to cause problems. That 3rd digit is roughly like a "Service Pack" number, but divide it by 2 because MS only does 3 SPs whereas LO does 6 or 7. >>>>> >>>>> The 3.x.7 aims at avoiding introducing new features! New features are mostly in the 3.6.x or being lined-up for the 3.7.0. The 3.5.7 is likely to just have fixes for any lingering problems in the 3.5.6. Most of those fixes will be being merging into the 3.6.3 and .4. At least that's how i imagine it works. Certainly once that 3rd digit reaches .4 the branch seems a lot more stable. >>>>> >>>>> Regards from >>>>> Tom :) >>>>> ________________________________ >>>>>> From: anne-ology <[email protected]> >>>>>> To: Dr. R.
