LO base reference?

users
#1

Hi,

I'm involved in a project that will produce a dataset as its product. I'm considering using LO base so as to avoid vendor lock-in. I've found a base document from 2014 that seems promising, is there a more up-to-date place to start reading?

Also the dataset is likely to be subsequently used by a very diverse group widely distributed. I've been thinking that a big csv file might be sufficiently interoperable, I don't see an option to export data this way. Is it possible or am I missing something that ought to be obvious?

I suppose it's clear I'm a complete newbie, any advice appreciated.

You could get the Base-Handbook here:
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/

... but it is only the first version. Translation of newer versions
seems to be a little problem ...

The German version from 2007 you could get here:

I have written most of the content. So feel free to ask me. You could
also contact me directly.
