Unfortunately, even with the Mysql connector (which is actually pretty
good it has to be said) there will be times where you will have to
resort to SQL. Watch out for bugs / deficiencies in the in-built OOo SQL
parser when executing complex queries, you will have to switch the
parser off to get any meaningful result, even with the Mysql connector,
and there is a strange date calculation issue floating around that makes
adding and subtracting dates error prone.
