LibreOffice Base

Brand Details

Type: Product

Description: LibreOffice Base is a free and open-source database management system (DBMS) included in the LibreOffice suite. It's similar to Microsoft Access, but unlike Access, it's cross-platform compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. Base allows users to create, modify, and view databases using a graphical user interface. Key features include: Database Creation and Management: Users can create databases from scratch or connect to existing ones (including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and others). It defaults to using HSQLDB (a Java-based database) for embedded databases, storing data within a single file. It also supports external databases. Data Manipulation: Base provides tools to work with tables, queries, forms, and reports. Wizards assist users in creating these components, even those new to database design. It also supports data linking with other LibreOffice applications like Writer (for mail merges) and Calc (for data analysis and charts). Integration: It seamlessly integrates with other LibreOffice applications, allowing data from Base to be used in other documents. For instance, an address book in Base can be used for mail merges in Writer. Pre-defined Templates: It offers pre-defined table templates for common uses such as tracking assets, customers, and sales orders, simplifying the initial setup.
