Database migration in Base

[Sophia Schröder]

Hi *,

from a user perspective I disagree.

We shouldn't force users to switch back, but instead we should still 
support the old format
but tell the users that this support is deprecated and will be removed 
with the one of the next releases of LO.
S/he can now decide him/herself to switch forward to the new firebird 
format and/or testing it.
