I only have the windows oOo handy so ..
When I open 'OpenOffice.org Base' I get the database wizard. It should
come up automatically when in OpenOffice.org (with all items closed)
you select File/New/Database.
in the 'What do you want to do' select 'Connect to an existing database'
radioBtn
then select the connection (ODBC, JDBC etc). Select next, then you
should get the 'Set up a connection to ODBC database' page. Browse
button will display all defined connections.
this should work the same in either environment.
