> why not just keeping jdbc and dump mysql_jdbc to simplify?
I suspect that would require a rework of the UI (and the help) as well though.
Currently, the DB creation wizard (and also the mailmerge wizard, off the top
of my head, and possibly the Define Addressbook dialog) gives you a specific
dialog if you choose MySQL as the intended database at the first step. If we
just had JDBC at that first step, then we would have to add specific entries in
the first menu for the alternative MySQL connection possibilities. Personally,
I'm not opposed to this, but we need to be consistent IMO.

If we do decide to go for just one list, then yes, bearing in mind the UI
rework required.

Currently, as far as I know, the only visual clue is in the bottom of the Base
window, where it specifies the type of connection being used.

We would need both entries to be complete, especially if they are diverging.
Whilst I agree pretty much with your suggestions, I don't really understand how
that will solve the timestamp issue ?
