[Gvsig_english] table

[Wolfgang Qual]

Hi Chris,
well, this slowness is sometimes really a problem (which will never be 
solved.). Openoffice_portable seems to be interesting, but it is only 
available for Windows (and I am working on Linux, when working with gvSIG). 
And I do not have any experiences in using OOBase. But gvSIG is doing a quite 
good job. As Javier mentioned earlier, it is always possible to load only the 
dbf-table of the corresponding shapfile and edit it. A little bit slow, but 
it works. Even with more than 150.000 rows.

Best regards,
Wolfgang
