Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice Viewer Roadmap

Greetings Tom,

I can attest that Base works well with MySQL/Mariadb (M/M).  I 
understand that Base still requires the Java Connector 
(mysql-connector-java) to talk M/M to the server (aka "Back End").  At 
least that is how I still have Base configured.  There was talk of a 
"native" Base driver for MySQL, but to my knowledge, that has not been 
deployed to date.
