Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Native MySQL-connection

Hi Tom,
It isn't awkward to use myodbc/unixodbc at all. I had used it for quite some
time before trying JDBC (and giving up on it!). The installation is somewhat
more involved (odbc.ini und odbcinst.ini...). But then it works beautifully.
Naturally I would in the end prefer to use the native connection. However,
since I have a job to do I don't really want to spend the time digging into
the depth of every piece of software. One tends to do that a lot anyway in
the Linux world. It's nice to really UNDERSTAND things, but sometimes -
enough is enough!
Regards from Salzburg

P.S.: By the way, having worked for nearly 30 years as a systems engineer
at IBM, I am quite used to "digging into..."
