I have create a data table in LO with MariaDB 10.1, and added a 
couple of data sets. This has worked so far :) Also closing the ODB

See above. The only things, which I have not tested by now, are 
forms and queries, sorry ... :( Maybe I will find some time this 
weekend to test it .. ;)
Have a nice evening
