can't reproduce it which packages from libreoffice did you install. You can see them with dpkg -l | grep libreoffice
Unfortunately i removed the libreoffice that i installed from backports and installed the stable release 6.1.5.2, which is working correctly. I can open existing .odb hsqldb files. If i can find the files that i installed when i installed the backports libreoffice, please tell me what to do.
if you upgrade to 6.3.0 again, you can try to rename your LO directory profile (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#GNU.2FLinux). BTW, Debian stable is rather for servers. If you use your machine for desktop, you should give a try to Debian testing (which includes LO 6.3.0). Meanwhile, let's put this one to WFM.
Actually, this isn't our bug, but a distrib packaging related one.
