OpenOffice.org 2.0, the open-source office suite sponsored by Sun Microsystems Inc., is getting closer to reality.
The latest prebeta edition, OpenOffice.org Snapshot Build 1.9.m65 (680_m65), is feature-complete and reveals an office suite that includes a personal DBMS (database management system) and improved Microsoft Office file compatibility.
While StarOffice—OpenOffice's commercial, closed-source brother—has long had a database, Software AG's ADABAS D relational DBMS, OpenOffice has not had one.
