Maybe this will help:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/i386/database/libreoffice-base

You can extend the functionality of LibreOffice Base by installing these
packages:

 * unixodbc: ODBC database support
 * libmyodbc | odbc-postgresql | libsqliteodbc | tdsodbc | mdbtools: ODBC
   drivers for:
   - MySQL
   - PostgreSQL
   - SQLite
   - MS SQL / Sybase SQL
   - *.mdb (JET / MS Access)
 * libmysql-java | libpg-java | libjtds-java: JDBC Drivers
   for:
   - MySQL
   - PostgreSQL
   - MS SQL Server and Sybase

Check to see if you have those installed.
