Hi Dan, Thanks again! Eureka! I had to add the ".oxt" file extension to the name. Now I can access a MySQL database stored on the Debian Wheezy system (MySQL 5.5) from my laptop client running Linux-Mint-Nadia. The systems are connected through a LAN. They are both 32-bit. I will test it more in the coming days and report on the results to you. I wonder about ONE thing: Even though I specify the name of the database for the connector, LO-Base displays ALL the additional databases that are defined on the server. This is unlike JDBC/ODBC where only the ONE DB mentioned in the definition of the LO-odb-file is shown in the list. Of course one can always specify MySQL-GRANT-statements as required. But somehow I would prefer to only see the intended DB.
Kind regards, Heinz On Wed, 13 Mar 2013 16:56:41 +0100, Dan Lewis <elderdanle...@gmail.com> wrote:
When I went to the Extension web page, I had to select "Base Extensions" and "Any Version". That is when I saw two extensions listed: "Access2Base" and "MySQL Native Connector". When I clicked on the latter, I went to the MySQL Native Connector page. Next you need to click the "1.0" link below Version to get to the download page. A direct link to the downloads: http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/mysql-native-connector/releases/1.0. --Dan On 03/13/2013 11:27 AM, Heinrich Stoellinger wrote:Hello Dan, Sorry to be a nuissance - but I can only find Access2Base under Base Extensions. The page is http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center?getCategories=Base_Extension&getCompatibility=any Is this correct?

Both are for Linux only. One is 32 bit (x86) and the second is 64 bit (x86_64). For now, either should be downloaded for testing only. The 32 bit connector works on LO 4.0.x and 4.1.0 alpha for both Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10. I need others to test these on a variety of Linux distributions before I can have a final version available here. If you test one of these, please send an email to me with the results. --Dan
