Hi All - Can anyone help me out please!!??
I want to transfer my Database from the embedded DB to a MySQL DB. I'm
using PCLinuxOS 2012 and AOO 3.4.0.
* I Created a new empty SQL DB on my WebServer, with all my fields,
using phpMySQLAdmin.
* I exported this DB back to my home computer. It comes out as a
'filename.sql' and seems to be a text document. (If I "open" this
file it opens in my HTML Editor!!)
* I downloaded and extracted 'mysql-connector-java-5.1.22.tar.gz'.
After extraction I have 'mysql-connector-java-5.1.22-bin.jar' in a
folder '/home/ian/Database'.
* I have MySQL loaded and the service IS running. (Checked with
Control Center)
* I DO have Java installed with Office (Sun Microsystems 1.6.0_21)
* I start Base and select 'Connect to existing DB' - JDBC
* Under Datasource I select the above 'Filename.sql' file.
* Under JDBC Class I select
'/home/ian/Database/mysql-connector-java-5.1.22-bin.jar'
* I select 'Test Class' and get the error "The JDBC Driver could not
be loaded".
Where is the problem and how do I get round it??
My requirements are a single user on a single machine!!
Also what other problems am I likely to come across as I proceed?
Thanks for any help.
