Generating reference list from database.

I have been reading a bit about using LibreOffice Base to create a reference list in a writer document, but I cannot figure out how to do this efficiently.

I am currently inserting the fields into my document through the “Data to Text” function in the “Data Sources” window, which is a rather slow process when you have more that 20 references to add…

So my question is: Is there a way, in which I can easily print the data saved in a database to a writer document?

so are you trying to get it into a form where you can just paste it? Have you run an INTO TEXT query e.g. SELECT <select list> INTO TEXT <tablename> FROM as described here?
