I have a postgres database on my server (running Slackware-13.1) and want
to access a table for data entry using LO on my workstation (running same
distribution and version).

Using LO-3.4.3, what steps do I follow to establish the connection? I try
File -> New -> Database, but the options there want me to create a new
database apparently outside of postgres. File -> Open does not offer me the
option of connecting to an existing database.

When I try File -> New -> Database -> connect to existing database, I've
no idea what to specify with either jdbc or odbc. Pointers greatly
appreciated.

Ubuntu has the following extension for libreoffice-sdbc-postgresql that allows easier integration with Base. I do not have Postgres installed so I can give more detailed instructions. If I remember correctly it is much more user friendly.
