I have been able to establish a connection between libreOffice base and my database, using sqliteodbc and unixODBC (which are the names on Fedora). I have not been able to use libiodbc, which serves the same function as unixODBC and is the default driver on KDE, probably because of documentation problems; libiodbc runs fine on all the KDE applications that require it, but not for libreOffece and me. But the database doesn't look like what I had expected it to: sqlite databases contain within themselves the names and data types of all the entries, but when libreOffice opens the database, there is no such data visible. Am I missing something. A dump of the database using "$ sqlite3 <archive>.sdb .dump" looks fine. Is this what I should expect, or is something wrong, or am I missing something?
