[Libreoffice] Base Development

[Fernand Vanrie]

Michael , NoOp,

I see a big difference between  the "Database" and the "Connectivity". 
Having a standalone Database in LO is a simple plus, gaving Connectivity 
to all kind of external databases is 1000 + more important. We use OO-LO 
as a backend for connection/working on  MySQL and so far no regressions 
foud !
