Re: [libreoffice-users] [ANNOUNCEMENT] MySQL-Connector Extension

Hi Dan,
Thanks again! Eureka! I had to add the ".oxt" file extension to the name.
Now I can access a MySQL database stored on the Debian Wheezy system (MySQL 5.5)
from my laptop client running Linux-Mint-Nadia. The systems are connected
through a LAN. They are both 32-bit.
I will test it more in the coming days and report on the results to you.
I wonder about ONE thing: Even though I specify the name of the database for
the connector, LO-Base displays ALL the additional databases that are defined
on the server. This is unlike JDBC/ODBC where only the ONE DB mentioned in the
definition of the LO-odb-file is shown in the list. Of course one can always
specify MySQL-GRANT-statements as required. But somehow I would prefer to only
see the intended DB.

Kind regards,
Heinz
