Hi :)
Should someone put those links on the documentation page?
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications

It would be really nice if people would just update that page so that everyone 
can see the content improving.  I can tidy up formatting if required so don't 
worry about making a mess.  What i can't do is find good content.  There is so 
much junk out there that's its difficult to spot the jems that are worth 
linking to.
Regards from
Tom :)

Short answer : for mailmerge, no. You must use Base in combination with Writer

If you want a report, you can :
(1) use the Oracle Report Builder, which is a built-in extension, accessible, 
for example, via a Base (ODB) file ;
(2) use a Calc file and design your own report using data ranges;
(3) use a Writer file, and insert your data fields from the table or query of 
your choice ;
(4) write an external program using python, javascript, beanshell, perl, php, 
etc to manipulate ODF compliant XML and interface that with your datasource.
