Just a PS to round off this thread. I never did get the MySQL ODBC connector working but I found that I didn't have to. LO has a connector libreoffice-mysql-connector that provides a connection to MySQL without either ODBC or JCBC. This gives me what I want, at least in Linux. Eventually I want to get LO working with MySQL in Windows XP and it seems (is this true?) that there is no corresponding extension for Windows. So I'll go back to working on ODBC, or possibly JDBC, until I succeed. I'll use linux to work on the schema and come back to Windows later.
Thanks to everyone. The solution via phpMyAdmin would do very well but a bit too elaborate for what I want, though I may well use PHP at some stage. I have a book on PHP and I'm impressed by its capability and I've started learning it.
