(In reply to Tamas Bunth from comment #16)
> What is a class string?
The name of a Java class. In this general context, this Java class is supposed
to expose the JDBC interfaces, and be a driver to a DBMS. In this particular
context, a driver to MySQL.
When one uses the wizard to create a new odb, and chooses "MySQL", the next
question is (was?) "what driver?", with a choice between ODBC, JDBC and native
(if installed...).
For ODBC you give a DSN source name. It better be a MySQL source, but that's
not technically checked/guaranteed. The connection, on the LibreOffice/SDBC
side is then an ODBC one, but some settings are automatically hardcoded to the
right ones for MySQL.
For JDBC you give a "class name" and parameters. The class name tells
LibreOffice which driver to load (what Java class). Again, it better be a MySQL
driver, but that's not technically checked/guaranteed. The connection, on the
LibreOffice/SDBC side is then a JDBC one, but some settings are automatically
hardcoded to the right ones for MySQL.
Native, I think you understand :) That's the one that you remade, excising out
the MySQL C++ connector.
