4.6.2 Using Databases with Base
LibreOce includes a database module (Base). Use Base to design a database to
store many dierent kinds of information, from a simple address book or recipe le
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 elds for
business and personal use. A wizard guides you through the steps to create a new
database.
LibreOce Base comes with several predened database elds to help you create
a database. A wizard guides you through the steps to create a new database. The
following steps are specic to creating an address book using predened elds, but
it should be easy to use the predened elds for any of the built-in database options.
The process for creating a database can be broken into several subprocesses:
