AFAIK, there is nothing about the MVC paradigm and its application in
database controls in the helpcontent, unless perhaps there is a mention
in the Basic programming section (but I doubt it). The database help in
helpcontent2 is spartan at best, and I don't ever recall seeing anything
that explained the quite sophisticated (at least to the neophyte
user/programmer/form designer) concepts you outline above. That is
precisely why the OOo developers produced the documentation you mention.

I suppose the new information could go here :
https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/General_5

which I believe is this file :
