Hi Johan,
I have been having a shot with the SQL server:
MySQL 5.0.21-max
And have not had OpenOffice.org crash once on me. I have created a
table, and populated that table with some data. In fact it appears to
be more stable the MySQL's own MySQL query browser, which likes
crashing on me.
I used the JDBC driver after selecting MySQL in the create database
wizard.
I haven't tried postgresql yet.

I still have problems connecting to a JDBC database eg, postgresql.
Steps to reproduce:
First:
-install a datases, eg postgresql from www.entropy.ch, or from
macports.
-createuser, eg: test
-create database, eg test
-create table, eg test.
start openoffice on command line
1-Create a new database Document, use JDBC as connection method.
2-fill in connections variables: eg:
Datasource URL: jdbc:postgresql://localhost/test
UsernameL: test
JDBC driver: org.postgresql.Driver
3-Test driver (should give OK)
4- Test connection (shoudl give OK)
The tables from the database should fill the view.
After that, try opening a table. Soffice crashes consistently, with
error:
terminate called after throwing an instance of
'jvmaccess::VirtualMachine::Attac
hGuard::CreationException'
./soffice: line 236: 2700 Abort trap "$sd_prog/
$sd_binary" "$@"
Observations::
It seems that the java machine is not attached to soffice: every
time I look under Extra->Options->Java, a test program is started
to find a JVM.
This has started somewhere in the 2.1 series. OS versions used
during testing: 10.4.7, 10.4.8, 10.4.9 betas
This is really a show stopper, like Alex Thurgood also has
remarked. If people cannot use JDBC to connect to databases soffice
is useless in environments that use databases. Which is about
everywhere.
BTW: like Maho, I still do not receive macporting mail on my .mac
account. Please reply direct if you have an answer
