This is totally unintelligible for ODBC, especially Windows. Maybe present the
four steps briefly first before explaining details for various options for the
different drivers.
*** A separate section is needed for ODBC, including how to get drivers -
http://ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/ Sqlite would be a good example to save
confusion with MySQL. See
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/connecting-base-to-sqlite-in-windows/68168/12
The type of info required and a sample database is covered in
https://www.sqlitetutorial.net/
> Query enhancement using SQL Mode
*** This doesn't explain how say sqlite works with Base. A sqlite example would
be good and relatively easy to set up.
