I know that Open Office Database uses a java database backend. Does anyone have any insight on how this compares to the Jet Database Engine?
Also is the query designer/reporting nearly as robust as MS Access?

In OpenOffice you have the ability to open new files from any of the OpenOffice programs. One of the drawbacks of choosing to use OpenOffice is that it has a higher memory and CPU usage than other office suites.
Now, you must be aware of the difference between Microsoft Office vs OpenOffice, and it is clear from the picture that MS Office has the upper hand over Open Office. Now comparing the features and advantages of both Microsoft Office and OpenOffice suite, you can choose which suite would be helpful to you.
The OpenOffice equivalent of Access is called Base. Base has its own file format — .odb – and it isn’t able to open .accdb files created in Access. Base isn’t any better than Access, except that it is free. There are still versions of OpenOffice available for free.
Pretty much anything that is based in Windows has the potential of being able to integrate with Microsoft Access. This includes SQL, Sybase, and Oracle for front-end or back-end tables. It is also easier to maintain than other systems that may offer larger database applications. 3. It offers a large amount of storage capacity.
It's odd for me to say this, because I'm not a fan of Access at all. However, I think Access is actually the nicer product here, for a number of reasons:
On the other hand, there's nothing wrong with the OpenOffice DB, and it's free.
