3.5 Using Databases with Base
OpenOffice.org includes a database module, Base. Use Base to design a database to store many
different kinds of information, from a simple address book or recipe file to a sophisticated document
management system.
Tables, forms, queries, and reports can be created manually or using convenient wizards. For
example, the Table Wizard contains a number of common fields for business and personal use.
Databases created in Base can be used as data sources, such as when creating form letters.
It is beyond the scope of this document to detail database design with Base. More information can
