ODBC Driver for Stripe

Connecting OpenOffice and LibreOffice to Stripe via ODBC Driver



Connecting to Stripe from OpenOffice and LibreOffice using ODBC Driver for Stripe

The article describes how to use Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice to access ODBC data sources using the respective driver. You can access Stripe data from Open Office Base or LibreOffice Base — desktop database management systems. Note that the Windows version of OpenOffice is 32-bit, and you may get the error “The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application” when trying to access a data source through a 64-bit ODBC Driver. To get rid of the error message, set up the 32-bit version of the driver.

To connect to an ODBC data source from OpenOffice or LibreOffice using our driver for Stripe, perform the steps below:

  1. Start OpenOffice or LibreOffice, click Database to open the Database Wizard.
  2. Open Office ODBC Database

    Alternatively, you can launch the Database Wizard from OpenOffice or LibreOffice Calc, Writer or any other tool by choosing File > New > Database.

    Open Office Writer New DB

  3. In the Database Wizard dialog box, click Connect to an existing database, select ODBC from the drop-down list, and click Next.
  4. Open Office Database Wizard

  5. Specify the name of the data source you want to connect to. You can either type the name of your data source into the field, e.g. ODBC Driver for Stripe, or you can click Browse, double-click the data source you need, and then click Next.
  6. Open Office ODBC Connection

  7. If your database requires a user name, type it into the User name field. If you are connecting to a password protected database, check the Password required field. Alternatively, you can specify these parameters in the data source settings of your ODBC Driver for Stripe and leave these fields empty in Database Wizard.
  8. Open Office User Authorization

    To test the connection to your data source, click Test Connection, input your credentials and click OK.

    You will be prompted to give a name to your new database and select the directory where you want to store it.
