Hello Tom,
That's fine. However, to use such a DB-backend one also needs support in a
myriad of other software in a webserver (mail, PHP-frameworks, etc., etc.).

Hi again :)
As well as MariaDb there is also Drizzle which is supported by many of TDF's
supporters

and their homepage

Regards again from
that other Tom ;)

Hi Tom,
Just my - maybe naive - 2 pennies worth of comments:
As I mentioned before, I have been using OO/LO for years together with
BASE with MySQL (which - also "sigh") now "belongs" to Oracle as well.
As a connector to the DB I have tried out the Java version (always had
trouble with it one way or the other!) as well as ODBC/UNIXODBC (which
is what I am now using under Linux and which works sort of!). With
MySQL there is also the native connector which I would actually prefer
to use - but, yes you guess right - does NOT work on either LO 3.3.3 or
3.4.1 under Linux. A bit confusing, isn't it!
I am not giving up hope yet for LO 3.4.2 - especially since it targets
business...
Isn't there a OpenSource fork of MySQL called MariaDB?!?
Regards
H

Thanks, Andreas.

To summarize what I learned from that second link: I need to install
sun-java6-jre_6.22-0ubuntu1~10.04 into a directory of my choosing, then
direct LO to use this special older version (which, it is reported, does
not cause the awful slowdown we're experiencing).

Look like a short-term solution I can live with. Give me hope that I get
back to work, later today

The long-term solution appears entirely opaque, however. Is the problem
being reported to Oracle (who I presume is behind the latest sun-java
updates). Is this an Oracle plot to blow OO and LO opensource dbs out of
the water?

Is there any hope we can cut this dependancy upon a java version that is
now associated with Oracle?

Sigh.

Tom

My chrystal ball tells me that you run LibreOffice with a recent Java
version under Linux, therefore this is the solution to your problem:
