Bug#289058: OOo - MySQL - ODBC - Cannot edit tables

[freddy]

Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.1.3-4

I'm using unixodbc version 2.2.4-11, with MySql 4.0.20-7. I can connect to the 
database from OOo,  read the data, submit queries and so on, but I cannot 
edit the data: the tables are read-only. All the buttons for editing the 
fields are greyed out. Earlier discussions on the OOo user mailing list 
suggested that this problem is Debian-specific.
