[libreoffice-users] Connecting libreoffice calc to existing sqlite database file

[Jonathan Ryshpan <jonrysh@pacbell.net>]

I want to examine an existing sqlite database file.  When I attempt the
obvious:

     1. Start LibreOffice
     2. Click Database
     3. Select "Open an existing database file"
     4. Click "Open"
     5. Choose the desired file from the browser window

I get the message "Please choose Connect to an existing database' to
connect to an existing database instead"

A little research implies that I have to start a back end program to
make the desired file available to LibreOffice as a running interface,
rather than as a file.  But it's not clear what this program would be.
Is such a program available for Fedora-16 (on x86_64 hardware), which is
what my system is?  If so, what is it?  Something on a repository would
be best; but I can build it, if necessary.

Thanks - jon
