Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Connection to SQL database

Carl,

Depending on the program (this looks like the output from MySQL 
Workbench) and the tables are MySQL/MariaDB - the MyISAM is specific 
MySQL/MariaDB database engine. If you have MySQL or MariaDB and MySQL 
Workbench installed you can import/restore the data.

The second dump has the data after value with each row in parentheses. 
You could open the file in any text editor. The remove the first part 
and the use find and replace to remove the parentheses and each '.

The program that generated the data probably allows you to get all the 
rows and export/save them as a csv file.
