The Uninstall feature made it easy to get rid of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice Base?

It doesn't support Insert, Delete, and Update statements through its query designer, and the SQL tool doesn't parse ANSI compliant SQL.

It is therefore WORTHLESS. All but the most childlike of functionality is closed to it. If you want a functioning alternative to MS Access, look elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LibreOffice Base solving and how is that benefiting you?

None. I'd be better off using paper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Base provides wizards to help users who are new to database design (or just new to the software) to create tables, queries, forms and reports, and it comes supplied with a set of pre-defined table definitions for tracking assets, customers, sales orders, invoices and many other common and many more.
