I am using LibreOffice Base as a generic database client. Sometimes it loses its connection to some database. Is there a way to reconnect it? I mean, a way other than closing and reopening Base?

I didn't test it, but base allows for connection pooling (Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice Base -> Connections):

connections

Did you try to enable pooling together with a long timeout?

  • That does not sound like a solution. For example, I frequently connect to a database at work and then go home. I would prefer to just click on one button the next day to reconnect, instead of closing and reopening Base. I don't believe such parameters could solve this problem, for example. – brandizzi May 24 '12 at 13:13
  • ah, ok, then my answer isn't useful in fact - sorry for that! – tohuwawohu May 24 '12 at 14:48
  • No problem, I believe it can be helpful for someone :) – brandizzi May 24 '12 at 16:37
