Start a new spreadsheet Define a database range, at least 32 columns x 20 rows. That is in Data > Define Range. Open the Data Provider dialog. That is in Data > Data Provider. Select the newly defined database range in drop-down list `Database Range`. Select entry SQL in drop-down list `Data Format`. Click on `Browse` button and find the file biblio.odb. It should be in your user folder in folder "database". Click on `Apply` button. Error: Nothing in the Preview. You can try it again with entry biblio@Bibliography in field `Identifier`. Click `OK` button. Error: Nothing is imported. Open the file https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sc/qa/unit/dataproviders_test.cxx See that the test testBaseImport is deactivated. I guess that the SQL import part of the Data Provider is not finished. As it does not work yet, remove the item SQL from the field `Data Format`.
