Hi all,

I am getting closer to launching my WO + Swing databinding library
(currently working on the Swing connections part, the rest is done)
and intend to make a simple example application to demonstrate some
of it's capabilities, and to make it easier for people to start with
it. So, I am wondering which database to use... At first I thought of
making a simple database schema, but as I remember WO ships with some
example databases, which are already populated and ready to be used.
I've never worked on anything like this, so I have a few questions:

1. Which of the example databases to use? I am looking for something
simple, a few tables, a few relationships, various types of
attributes, but nothing much.
2. How is 5.4 regarding that? Does it ship with the example
databases? I've read something in the documentation saying that
OpenBase is not included anymore with WO, and IIRC all the example
databases in 5.3 and earlier were in OpenBase...
3. Has anyone done this? Trying to make an example run-on-everything
WO app seems impossible (especially if 5.4 does not come with pre-
installed dbs, regardless of the vendor), and I really would like to
make it easy for people new to WO/WOLips/Eclipse/SQL...
4. If 5.4 make this somehow possible, but in a way that is different
then in 5.3, would somebody be willing to port the server app (the
client code should be functional on both versions)?

Any advice is welcome.

Thanks,
F
