[LUG] OOo database

 

My son-in-law runs a vet practice and he was complaining about the
cost of upgrading MS Office. I suggested he might switch to OOo but is
this going to work? He does use Access and OOo 2.0 (I haven't looked
at 2.0.4) seems to import only from Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Has
anyone tried a conversion by building a new set of tables and
importing the content in CSV format or something like that? I am
familiar with the Oracle DBMS and SQL but I have no great familiarity
with Access. I recall seeing a post a little while ago saying that OOo
is weak in this area; am I going to run into difficulties trying to
work with OOo Base?
