[libreoffice-users] LibreOffice Base and MySQL

Hi All

I have been trying to import a CSV file from Calc into MySQL to run with 
Base for over a week now and can not believe this is so difficult to do 
so I'm hoping some other Base users might have cracked this one!!

My OpSys is PClinuxOS - 32-bit and MySQL is ver 5.1.73. Everything is 
running on localhost.

My CSV file is in Calc and has 2600 rows and 78 cols. I save it as a CSV 
file which is 717.8Kb in size. Field Names are in row 1.

I have tried many times with phpMyAdmin with no luck and today I 
installed MySQL Workbench - also no luck.

In all cases I get the error ...

MySQL said: Documentation
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that 
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use 
near 'varchar(10), `NULL` varchar(10), `NULL` varchar(10), `NULL` 
varchar(21), `NULL` ' at line 1

MyAdmin seems to stop after only 38 fields and the error does not show 
the field names in the error. Also it is not MY SQL syntax it is 
MyAdmin's syntax!!

Workbench says - ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your 
SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server 
version for the right syntax to use near 
'RecordID,Status,StatusGraphic,Title,PrefFirstName,FirstName,LastName,Maiden/Form' 
at line 1
Operation failed with exitcode 1.

Can anyone help me out please. I'm NOT a Database expert just a user and 
must get this DB up and running again ASAP!!

Many, many thanks
