# ODBC Connection

Specifies the settings for ODBC databases.

To edit or add records to a database table in LibreOffice, the table must have a unique index field.

On Solaris and Linux platforms, try to use a JDBC driver instead of an ODBC driver. See http://www.unixodbc.org for an ODBC implementation on Solaris or Linux.

To connect to a Microsoft Access database on Windows, use the ADO or Access database interface, rather than ODBC.

Drivers for ODBC are supplied and supported by the manufacturer of the database. LibreOffice only supports the ODBC 3 standard.
