The connection to the external data source could not be established. No SDBC driver was found for the URL on a Mac

I’m using a Mac with OS 10.12.1 and trying to learn how to create/use the LibreOffice database. Right off the bat I get the following error:

"The connection to the external data source could not be established. No SDBC driver was found for the URL ‘sdbc:embedded:hsqldb’.

What do I need to do?
