On the first page of the Database Wizard, select Create a new
database and then click Next.
The second page has two questions. Make sure the choice for the first
question is Yes, register the database for me and the choice for the
second question is Open the database for editing. Click Finish.
Note
If the database is not registered, it will not be accessible to the
other OOo components such as Writer and Calc. If the database is
registered, other components can access it.
Save the new database with the name Automobile. This opens the
Automobile – OpenOffice.org Base window. Figure 183 shows part of
this window.
Figure 183: Creating database tables
Tip
Every time the Automobile database is opened, the Automobile –
OpenOffice.org Base window opens. Changes can then be made
to the database. The title for this window is always <database
name> – OpenOffice.org Base.
Caution
As you create a database, you should save your work regularly.
This means more than just saving what you have just created. You
must save the whole database as well.
For example, when you create your first table, you must save it
before you can close it. When the table is first saved, it is also
made part of the database.
