[libreoffice-users] Re: XML as mailmerge data source?

A long time ago (before I abandoned windows) I used MSDAC and oledb. M$
had a connector thingy to use XML as a row source.

A simpler way to say this is that XML get converted into a table, with
the deeper nested tags stored in a cell. So you could drill down in the
data by getting the XML data from a cell and use that again to get a
table.

I guess that might work with ODBC and thus with LO on windows.
