Ah.......you have missed the "mystery" app. in OO, and one of the best gems in
Linuxdom!! :) OO contains a dBase compatible database creation and management
application. It also can connect to mysql, etc., and with the OO frontend,
create tables, forms, reports, etc., for other database formats. I simply use
OO's built-in base as it's really quite powerfull - MUCH more than someone
needs for home use, and adequate for many small businesses.
