BUG : impossibility to enter data in table
Comment 1 christoph.lukasiak 2005-09-12 11:07:11 UTC
right, in the moment not possible because oo needs the 'explicity' of the row
(primary key or bookmarking like in access or dBase)

=> not a bug, but change in feature and send to requirements

Access does not require the creation of a primary key.  There may be some kind
of primary key created in the background by the software if a primary key is not
created by the user.  I really don't know, but if that is the case, it is
completely transparent to the user.

Primary keys can also be created and removed in existing tables in Access
without the tables being adversely affected (tables can still be edited).
Comment 3 martinkozak 2006-01-31 17:42:26 UTC
Exactly, this would be well to fix also because of users who switch from 
Microsoft Access to OpenOffice.org Base.

Is this still an issue?  I don't think I experienced this in OOo2.

IMO for Base as a frontend of different database management systems it is right
to need an primary key and didn't it automatically.

and IMO it is a Bug that MS Access doesn't do it.

so works as designed -> invalid
