The "ideal" would be JDBC / ODBC / ... drivers for .odb files ;)

Indeed. Menu Data / DatPilot seems like a much better way to do it; it

Or press "F4", then drag'n drop it to your sheet. This seems to make a
copy.

If someone wants to do a direct CSV / TSV / dBase export directly from
Base, yeah, that would be practical for users.

Maybe the export code could export to an arbitrary sdbc URL?
