These client libs are available from the openSUSE repo's. Maybe slackware has
something equal.

Since I am the inly user of my database and its all on localhost, I use
phpMyAdmin alot to reun querries and do most functions associated with
database maintenance.
My KDE apps using the dB are KMyMoney, Amarok and Digikam. I also have
several databases with Lions Club oriented data.

Russ,
Thanks for the info. I will have to look into those.
IMHO, you can't have too many backup options.
The advantage of Base is that I can create database (table) maintenance
gui forms that allow me to add & modify record data without the pain of
creating queries all the time. Base allows one to create & modify
tables, queries, and data entry/maintenance forms in a gui environment,
which I find more productive than a command line based client. There is
also a report generator, but in my experience the Base report generator,
actually the Oracle Report Builder plugin, is busted and I am working
with a 3rd-party report builder called DataVision. Most of my database
tables are inventories. I currently have 50 tables in one database.
Agreed, many of these tables are small tables of listbox-type data for
remote key access. That said, I found that Base does not do all of the
things a command line client does. There have been postings about Base
not making expected changes to a table, especially a key. It seems when
Base saves a table definition the first time, subsequent key definition
changes are not executed. In my experience with that type problem, I
found I had to create a MySQL query in the mysql command line tool to
perform the changes I wanted. But that process is extremely rare. In
fact, I have only needed to do it once in the 8 years or so I have been
using Base.
