Linking to Registered Data Sources

              LibreOffice Calc enables  us to link  the spreadsheet documents with  databases, and  other data sources. For this,
              registering the data source within LibreOffice is essential. Because it informs LibreOffice about what kind of data being
              used and the file’s location.

              In this section, our focus will be on LibreOffice Base, which has .odb extension. To register a database in .odb format
              the steps are as follows:
              Step 1:  Select the Tools   Options from the Menu bar.

                      The Options dialog box opens.

              Step 2:  Click on the LibreOffice Base category. The LibreOffice Base category expands and displays the options.
              Step 3:   Select the Databases option. The options related to database displays on the right-side of the Options dialog
                      box.

              Step 4:  Click on New button.

































              The Create Database Link dialog box opens.
