Hi Alex,
Am I then wrong in assuming that you can not set up a database document
without Java, and that without a database document created beforehand
you can not do a mail merge using the wizard even if you are using a
mysql db ?
Yes, you are :)
You can set up a database document connecting to a MySQL DB without any
Java at all. And you can do a mail merge based on a database document
without any Java (provided that the DBDoc does not require Java).
Well anyway, have a "guter Umzug"
Thanks, it wasn't all too bad ... ;)
Ciao
Frank
Actually you do need java if you are going to us JDBC as the driver to
connect to mysql. There is also a download from mysql called MySQLODBC
which you need to use the ODBC protocol. At least this was for version 1.x
i am not sure if it changed for 2.x.
Also there was an issue regarding user priviledges once connected, and
this is also documented at the http://dba.openoffice.org FAQ
