Re: [libreoffice-users] Native Connector
Thanks a lot, Girvin... My situation is exactly as you describe it. I used to run my own server, installing everything from Linux to Apache2, PHP, mail, MySQL, etc. Therefore I had the possibility to set my OWN parameters for MySQL. For cost and other reasons I changed to a stripped-down web-hosting structure and therefore have stopped being my own admin I also think that 60 seconds is an inappropriate value for the wait_timeout because it doesn't even allow you to go have a quick coffee (or other, more pressing things...). Yes, in MY situation it would be great if the native connector supported a kind of automatic reconnect after the SERVER (nothing to do with LO-Base!) shuts down an idle connection (in my case in 60 seconds, even though 28800 would be allowed!!!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Native Connector
Hello Girvin, Yes, I will keep on using the JDBC-Driver, hoping that the native connector will support autoreconnect some time in the future. If LO drops JDBC, I have to look for a different Office system. To suggest restarting LO every time after having to go away for a short break really is NOT feasible in reality.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Native Connector
Heinrich, Although I do not have the problem you are experiencing, I am keeping an eye on this thread is case I do have a similar problem in the future. I hope you can get an answer soon to solve your immediate problem. Aside from your cup of coffee example, from my experience, the Base Report Generator can take much more than 60 seconds to render a large report. I am not sure how Base collects the data for a report, but if it does so a record at a time, then your server would time out way before the report is finished! I would think that the best case would be that the constant reconnects would slow the Report Generator even more. Since it sounds like your system worked before LO 4.2.x and I suspect you where using the Oracle MySQL-connector-java, as I am, there may be a way to replace the new native connector with the tried-and-true Oracle connector. That would get you up and running again until more information on the native connector is released. I have no experience with this, but it may be an option for you, if it can be done. Good luck.

The server shuts down the connection if that period has expired without further hearing from the client. My problem is that I am NOT the system administrator of the server and the sysadmin of the server won't increase that wait_timeout value.

If the 1st - go to properties/options/ and re-set the timing mechanism to never shut down you can also do similarly in various programs - as LO - which otherwise decide they want to save every so often, causing me to lose my train of thought while writing ;-) If the 2nd - I'll be awaiting someone else's response on this list; and will attempt to figure out what's what ;-) From: Heinrich Stoellinger hc.stoellin...@aon.at Date: Sat, May 10, 2014 at 8:08 AM Subject: [libreoffice-users] Native Connector To: users@global.libreoffice.org users@global.libreoffice.org on Hello, It's good to see a native connector for MySQL under 4.2. One question: In the server my.cnf the value for wait_timeout is set to 60 seconds and will not be increased. This is a nuisance if one needs to be connected over longer periods but sometimes has to go away from there client for more than a minute. Under the JDBC-connector there is a possibility to specify ?auto-reconnect=true after the database name. Is there some facility like that under the native connector? Regards H.
