They can both handle any database for which an ODBC driver is available.
OO.o under windows can use /any/ DB that MS Office can use, and vice
versa - except possibly databases with broken SQL that MS office allows
for.
I've barely used Office's DB access system (it being an expensive
add-on) but the OO.o one works fairly well. Needs some work handing
auto-incrementing fields and creating tables but data access is perfect.
