A new field could be added, but the existing ones cannot be changed. So I have to return to the MySQL(JDBC) option. However, it accepts adding ?autoReconnect=true behind the database name AND the addition of new fields is transferred to the forms function immediately. In other words, the problem is solved, by adding the option ?autoReconnect=true behind the database name in every case. Is that documented somewhere?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Table fields from Mariadb to Base
Hi Harvey, couldn't see this behaviour in LO 6.2.5.2 on OpenSUSE 15, 64bit rpm Linux. But my MariaDB is a local database. Think it is a problem of the remote-connection to your database. The changing of the table must reach the database and after changing the table inside the database the information could be send back to the query. Do you use parameters for the connetion to the database, for example jdbc:mysql://«Host of database»:3306/«databasename»?autoReconnect=true @Dan: If you add a field to a table for an external database the Base-file must not be saved. There has nothing been changed in Base, only in the (external) database.

The field did not show up in the list of controls. It was this that made me open the query to check if it were there. It wasn't, so I then opened the table, where it was shown as expected, no data, as yet, having been entered in any of the new fields. Now I have slight doubts, having tried adding a new test field. This field showed up when I opened the query, but was not to be seen in the data control field of the form. In other words, maybe the order 'open query/open form (for edit)' or the other way round, as in the previously reported case, produces different results.

Hi Haevey, > > Having added the new field to the table using the Base client, I > expected it to appear in the query which is of the form (SELECT * FROM > ). It didn't until I closed Base and restarted it. How did you add the field? Tools → SQL? Or did you add it in the GUI. If added through Tools → SQL a refresh of the tables is needed (View → Refresh Tables). The GUI doesn't recognize automatically what has been changed in this way.

[libreoffice-users] Table fields from Mariadb to Base
I am connecting a Base client (Version: 6.1.3.2) to a remote mariadb using the MySQL (JDBC) connector. A form I had generated in Base needed a new field that had to be added to the source (Base) query and the related (Mariadb) table. Having added the new field to the table using the Base client, I expected it to appear in the query which is of the form (SELECT * FROM ). It didn't until I closed Base and restarted it.
