Exactly like with any other database. For the formatted output of
database data does not matte if your Base document is connected to csv,
dBase, spreadsheets, Oracle server, MySQL, embedde HSQL or any kind of

File #1 is a csv file.
File #3 is a Base document connected to the csv file, more precisely to
its directory which may contain more csv files.
File #4 is a pre-formatted spreadsheet template with a preformatted
import range.
