How else would one obtain the schema in the first place ? As I see it there are only two possibilities : - import from an existing db connection using the db source/named ranges functionality -this requires a db context/connection and consequently a db driver; - import from a file (XML/UML or other Calc-recognisable file type) that has been obtained by exporting the schema from a database. The second way wouldn't require a db driver, but is more cumbersome IMO than being able to query the db directly for the schema because it requires specific matching of the structure to the internal representation of a Calc file, i.e. implementation of a separate import/export filter.
