The wizard is what allows you to create an Embedded database, open an existing one, or connect to one located on a server.Īn embedded database is integrated with an application, such as Base, that requires access to stored data. Many users may have to activate experimental features to enable Firebird Embedded in the Embedded Database drop-down menu in the Database Wizard. However, the replacement process has not yet come to fruition. NOTE: The Document Foundation wants to replace HSQL with Firebird.

Each row has a different record.Ī record is composed multiple fields, and contains all the data about a particular person, business, or item in a table. Each field contains a piece of data for a record. A field contains a specific piece of data that is part of a record. From tables, reports and forms are generated, and queries are performed.Ī table is organized into fields and records. Data is stored in them, and records are organized in them.
