What database systems can OpenOffice Base connect to?
In addition to the driver for embedded HSQLDB engine, Base also supports standard JDBC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JDBC_driver) or ODBC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ODBC_driver#Drivers) drivers, as well as native SDBC drivers written specifically for OpenOffice (see: PostgreSQL (https://www.openoffice.org/dba/drivers/postgresql/index.html), MySQL (https://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/aoo-my-sdbc), etc.).
Some drivers provide read-only access to existing data stored in tabular-spreadsheets (.ods/.xls), delimited text files (.csv), or popular address-book formats. The bundled "dBase" driver provides full read-write access to flat-file "dBase" databases
