ODBC Connection

Specifies the settings for ODBC databases. To edit or add records to a database table in $[officename], the table must have a unique index field. On Solaris and Linux platforms, try to use a JDBC driver instead of an ODBC driver. See http://www.unixodbc.org for an ODBC implementation on Solaris or Linux. To connect to a Microsoft Access database on Windows, use the ADO or Access database interface, rather than ODBC. Drivers for ODBC are supplied and supported by the manufacturer of the database. $[officename] only supports the ODBC 3 standard.
