What do you think of AndrOpenOffice? (nm)

Regarding the password issue, the default action during a Save As …
operation is to solicit a password and I might have entered a space in frustration.

The default action differs, depending upon which build is used.

Export to PDF exports all the sheets. I want to print the defined print range from one of five sheets to a PDF file. It should be doable but I

That part has not yet been implemented.
A couple of months ago I saw a projected roadmap that listed when each feature would probably be implemented. However, I don't know where I saw it, and a Google serch doesn't bring it up. :frowning:

copied from Apache OpenOffice in order to share the print output with

an external (not yet available?) app.

Defined print range would go through the Android Print API, which relies on Google Print.

works derived from Open Source products had to, themselves, be Open Source also. How wrong could I get? (Rhetoric question)

I'm almost at the point of defining everything that is not licenced under the GNU GPL 2.0, or GNU GPL 3.0 to be closed source, proprietary software.

In any case I do find AnOo (as you called it) to be usable if attention is paid to its quirks.

Unfortunately, those quirks change with each released build.

I had a lot of trouble a while back, so I stopped using it and started writing my own program in C++. Of course, this is time consuming, but it is something I enjoy doing.

That said, I did write some things through MySQL with no problems.

Can I use Mariadb as back-end for LO Base or must it be MySQL? For
example, are the connectors compatible or is there a Mariadb-specific
connector?

Cheers

Looks like it's possible -

but I've never done it.

I, too, am faced with switching to Mariadb, since the latest Slackware Linux has switched from MySQL to Mariadb. I looked on the Mariadb website and they are claiming full compatibility with everything, including the connectors. I have yet to confirm that, but I am hopeful. I did notice that Mariadb even goes so far as to keep the MySQL utility program names, such as mysql_install_db. So even existing MySQL scripts should work with Mariadb. That is pretty compatible.
Good luck.

Hi :slight_smile:
I think we have heard from people who have tried it. I think Ian or
someone started with MySql and then swapped it out replacing it with
MariaDb. I'm not sure but i think there might be a problem with
MariaDb on Mac but if you are not using a Mac then it should be fine.

Hi,

MariaDB is compatible with MySQL, the MySQL connectors, and MySQL API and is designed to be a drop-in replacement for MySQL. I have connected to MariaDB using the LO provided MySQL connector on earlier versions of LO. I have not done so with 4.1.X yet.

I have seen nothing that indicates that you cannot use Maria DB as a drop-in replacement for MySQL at this point.

Last I tried it was with Drupal 7. It just worked. I expect the same for Base, if it is not so, file a bug report against Maria DB.

#29

I'm using MariaDB on all of my web servers, and it really is a "drop-in" replacement.
I uninstalled mysql, installed mariadb, and bo0m, everything just worked.
I've used it with webservers running a broad spectrum of applications, including drupal, wordpress, joomla, scuttle, friendica, redmatrix, knoxious pastebin, statusnet, piwigo, gallery3, and more.

I have not used it with LObase, though.

I imagine it would work just fine.
