After installing the "unixODBC" and "mariadb-connector-odbc" packages,
I
finally found this:
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/creating-a-data-source-with-mariadb-connectorodbc/
After following the directions there for setting up a data source and
running the "odbcinst" commands from that document, I got it to work.

I remember setting this up quite some time ago, but now I have a new
machine running F38. I can find some documentation for the old very tedious
procedure to get this to work; it still does work on an older machine where
I had done this. But I notice now that Fedora might already have some of
the required packages, such as mariadb-connector-odbc-3.1.19-1.fc38.x86_64
and unixODBC-2.3.11-2.fc38.x86_64 . Would these packages work? Has anyone
here already gotten LibreOfficeBase to talk to a MariaDB database on Fedora
38? If so can you point me to a place that describes the process for
getting it working?
Thanks in advance,
