This is totally unintelligible for ODBC, especially Windows. Maybe present the
four steps briefly first before explaining details for various options for the
different drivers.
*** A separate section is needed for ODBC, including how to get drivers -
<a href="http://ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/">http://ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/</a> Sqlite would be a good example to save

<a href="https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/connecting-base-to-sqlite-in-windows/68168/12">https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/connecting-base-to-sqlite-in-windows/68168/12</a>
The type of info required and a sample database is covered in

*** This doesn't explain how say sqlite works with Base. A sqlite example would
be good and relatively easy to set up.
