OpenOffice Calc ODBC equivalent

Hi R users:

I am using RODBC to create some new ".xls" files each with
several sheets (about 100) with sqlSave() from a data.frame
inside R  without any problem, but on windows XP platform.

I would like to know if it is posible to make a similar
solution on linux with openoffice?

RODBC work only (for the moment) with ".xls" on windows,
via the ODBC driver.

Is it posible to make the same thing on openoffice?
I mean, an ".odt" file with several sheets each, generated from
a data.frame in R?

Thank you for your help.

As far as I know, nothing has changed vis-a-via ODBC connectivity TO  
OpenOffice files. You can use ODBC FROM OpenOffice to connect to  
external data sources.

A search of CRAN does not reveal any packages/functions to would  
appear to provide a facility to directly write data frames to a Calc  
file. However, you can always write to a XLS file, open it in Calc and  
re-save it as a native Calc file. Of course, anyone with Calc can open  
an XLS file, so you are not losing much in terms of portability by  
saving to an XLS file and distributing that. You also make it easier  
for folks who may be using other 'office' applications that do not  
have import filters for OO.org file formats.

HTH,
