biblio.README

1When updating biblio.odb be aware that biblio.odb *does not* embed the data of
2the database inside the .odb, instead it is configured to store its data in the
3per-user database/biblio/biblio.dbf and database/biblio/biblio.dbt files. i.e.
4the contents of the ~/.libreoffice/3/user/database/biblio dir.
5
6If you edit biblio.odb in "base" you will really just be changing your local
7data store.
8
9So, to really change the bibliography the easiest thing to do is to launch
10writer and use tools->bibliography database and edit your local one through
11that UI.
12
13Then *copy* ~/.libreoffice/3/user/database/biblio/biblio.db* to
14extras/source/database/ in order to overwrite biblio.dbf and biblio.dbt and
15copy ~/.libreoffice/3/user/database/biblio.odb to
16extras/source/database/biblio.odb
17
18NOTE: base doesn't seem to "PACK" the dbase III files after editing, so deleted
19records still take up space in the file, possibly a bug worth fixing ?
