Built-in wizards and table definitions make it easy for new users to quickly get started building tables, writing queries, and creating forms and reports (such as invoices, sales reports, and customer lists). This means you can import and export data from Base into the suite's other applications to create financial reports, mail merges, charts, and more.īase includes drivers that natively support multi-user database engines, including the open source MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL Access and other JDBC and ODBC-compliant databases. As such, Base integrates with the other LibreOffice applications, much like Access does with the Microsoft Office suite.
In case it's not obvious from its name, Base is part of the LibreOffice productivity suite, which includes Writer (word processing), Calc (spreadsheet), Impress (presentations), Draw (graphics), Charts (chart creation), and Math (formulas).
