Open Office Database

Brief notes on history

The database element of the OpenOffice suite has been around for a long time now.

If you have a long memory, back to before OpenOffice version 2, you may recall things about Adabas, which came with Star Office, which was a commercial version of Open Office.

For a long time now, Open Office's database, "Base", aka "ooBase", has had nothing to do with Adabas or Star Office.



Remember: Open Office, including ooBase, is free!

Don't let that fool you, though. Big organizations, governmental and civilian, are adopting it as their standard office suite... and saving million$, and still Getting The Job Done.

And Open Office is multi-platform. This means that sharing documents between Linux, Mac and Windows users is not a pain.

There's more about the history of ooBase at the bottom of the main index to the tutorials site that this notice comes from.

Editorial Philosophy

I dislike 'fancy' websites with more concern for a flashy appearance than for good content. For a pretty picture, I can go to an art gallery. Of course, an attractive site WITH content deserves praise... as long as that pretty face doesn't cost download time. In any case....

I am trying to present this material in a format which makes it easy for you to USE it. There are two aspects to that: The way it is split up, and the way it is posted. Details at my page about how the material is split up and how it is posted.

One last bit of advice: Be sure you know all you need to about spyware.
