Regarding the user testing comments "please add info on how to set up DSN",
and never using the example DNS filename.

I expect the MySQL or MariaDB database server used as a template has good
ODBC documentation. Unfortunately, the SQLite driver documentation does not
document DNS for Windows and contains "TODO: improve documentation". The
instructions should use the empty database file created previously.

The following is suggested with an indicative first sentence to replace the
whole  (BG7302-CreatingADatabase) SQLite databases Initial preparation
section beneath the note.

Follow the instructions for your operating system. For example, in Windows:
> 1. Run (Windows key + R) C:\Program
> Files\LibreOffice\program\odbcconfig.exe the ODBC Data Source Administrator
> 2. On the User DSN tab click the Add button to add a User Data Source Name
> 3. Select the SQLite3 ODBC Driver (if it's not displayed it needs to be
> installed) and click the Finish button
> 4. When the SQLite ODBC DSN Configuration window opens enter the Data
> Source Name: libretest-SQLite, Browse to the database test.db, and click
> the OK button. The ODBC DNS can be reconfigured later if required.
