Millions of users use it for mail merge, label print etc. from connected

no it's a regression, I created a db with 4.1.1 edit the table etc. and
then tried to open the db with 4.1.2. In both Office installtions I used
Oracle Java 8 (1.8.0_40).

The same symptoms Juergen reports are also attributable to the absence of a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that AOO can use. That is, one can create a new empty database .odb, but cannot open it, etc.
That there are crashes without any reports of exceptions is peculiar though. It looks like more details are required.
Can the user roll back to 4.1.1 and verify whether the problem exists there also? That might narrow the situation down to something that changed in 4.1.2 and/or the Mac.

Indeed we have two separate issues, but both common to Base on Mac OS X:
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126622
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126623
so it looks general as you suggest.
I posted some comments at
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=80059&p=369197
but in short we didn't change much in Base between 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, except
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121492
which would have to be rechecked if the problem is confirmed to be in
Base and not in the way we invoke Java code or something else.
Regards,
Andrea.

I can confirm that there is a problem, an existing DB file can be opened
but the existing table can't be viewed or edited. But it is the same
problem when you create a new DB. The table wizard can be sued to create
a table but then the same problem. Creating table in design view doesn't
work. Seems to be a general problem here.
No further tests ... I normally don't use the db in OpenOffice
