IHi All I have lurking on this for a year or so never posting as I never understanding the issues.
Background I have 4 XP and 1 Mandrake 10.1 boxes in which I am attempting to connect OpenOffice 2.0 to a MySQL data base located in a 6th computer which I am planning on using as a server. At present I have OpenOffice 2.0 installed in 2 of the 4 XP boxes, the Linux box, and Mandrake 9.2 installed in the box I intend to use for the MySQL sserver. I would use a later distribution for the MySQL server but there are hardware installation issues which make system installation difficult besides this should suffice as a start. Currently I have MySQL and OpenOffice running in a Mandrake 10.1 laptop and am attempting to connect OpenOffice to MySQL by either ODBC or JDBC. For JDBC I have Java run time environment installed – I think. I need to test it to verify this. I have no ides of how to do this or a source of a How-To for installation for a JDBC connection. For ODBC I have installed ALL packages in Mandrake 10.1 with ODBC in the title. I have attempted to test per “OpenOffice.org 1.0, ODBC, and MySQL How-To” which I got from www.unixodbc.org/doc/OOoMySQL.pdf by usage of isql. ODBC is not functioning. Mechtilde on the OpenOffice users list sent me a URL to a How-To he is developing @ www.mechtilde.de This is all in German but Babblefish works great an I was able to translate it. According to this tutorial for Debian the following packages are required: Packages Installed openoffice.org-2.0 openoffice.org unixodbc-2.2.4-11 unixodbc mysql-client-4.1-4.1.11-1 mysql-client-4.1 mysql-common-4.1-4.1.11-1 mysql-common-4.1 mysql-server-4.1-4.1.11-1 mysql-server-4.1 Packages Not Installed unixodbc are-2.2.4-11 unixodbc are odbcinst1-2.2.4-11 odbcinst1 libmyodbc-3.51.09-1 libmyodbc libmysqlclient10-3.23.56-3 libmysqlclient10 libmysqlclient14-4.1.11-1 libmysqlclient14 libodbcinstq1-2.2.4-11 libodbcinstq1 In relation to this I have 3 questions: 1.As I know that at times each distributions does things differently thus is this the correct set of packages? 2.Is there a tutorial / How-To that describes the correct connection procedure for ODBC and OpenOffice 2.0 similar to the one for 1.0? 3.Is there a tutorial / How-To that describes the correct installation procedure for JDBC? Help would be appreciated. Thanks SOTL PS: Hopefully I am not on the wrong list for these questions. If so should i go to the OpenOffice users list or to the Mandrake users list? Thanks again. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
