Changing the data source
To change the data source in use (for example, if you have more than
one bibliographic database for different purposes), click the Data
Source button near the top of the window. The Choose Data Source
dialog box (Figure 343) is displayed.

Changing field details
You can make changes to the bibliography database (for example,
rename fields or change the length of fields) by doing the following:
1) In the main document (not the Bibliography Database window),
press F4 or click View > Data Sources to open the data source
window, similar to Figure 344.
2) Make sure that the Bibliography database is selected as well as
the correct table. You may have to expand some levels to be able
to select the correct ones.

3) Right-click on the table entry (biblio in the example) and select
Edit Database File from the pop-up menu. This opens a window
similar to Figure 345, which is the main menu for Base, the
database component of OpenOffice.org.
