Good grief. It was just a ploy to get attentiion. I am a Mandrake, even cooker fan. I've been living on cooker personally about 75% of the time for the past two years. There have been times when I couldn't get anything done and reverted to "stable".
I'd love to fix it but that is a fantasy I am not likely to realize. I am learning a bit but probably just approaching the dangerous stage. Yes, it is the mysql.com RPM marked as "RedHat". I looked at two at rpmfind and urpmi reported bad signatures. Yes, I have been flailing and things are messy here. isql will execute sql commands on a remote mysql server. The key bindings suck and a newline marks the end of a command but otherwise it looks rather like mysql. Without the myodbc driver, isql simply hangs with no output on a readline. I managed to get a seg fault on one version I tried. DataManager survives to the login when I try to list tables. OO calc does the same. I think a functioning OO MS Access like facility would be fantastic and will contribute significant effor to get there..
