Hello Alexandro,
First , thanks for starting that page on the wiki.
The simple answer is, do a standard search on Issuzilla and you will
find 36 issues.
The not so simple answer: Database front ends by their very nature are a
bugger for bugs ;>)
Why? Because of the variables involved. For example with Writer you
pretty much have the OS and the OO.org versions and maybe the Locale
settings. For Base you have the OS, OO.org version, Driver type and
version, RDBMS version and configuration ( MyISAM is not the same as
InnoDB for instance) and sometimes the OS the RDBMS is on is a factor
and sometimes the transport layer ( Sockets vs TCP/IP for instance ).
In fact you ran into this already with the change to the /etc/my.cnf
file for *skip-networking. I don't recall having to do this for a
localhost MySQL database under Ubuntu and a quick perusal of the MySQL
documentation only mentions it for Mandriva. ( doesn't mean there isn't
others that require that )
So, if you go and look at those 36 issues you will find that many if not
most have to do with a particular version or types of driver used.
Which brings me to the question at hand - how much of this detail should
we be trying for on these FAQ style pages. In the best of worlds I
suppose the answer is "as much as possible", but it comes down to person
power. Hopefully the idea of users updating this type of page will catch
on, and the different "gotchas" will be added over time. Even then
though it is going to take someone to try and clean up now and then, or
maybe fact check is a better way to put that.
Oh, and while I think of it..one more possible variable, if you are
using JDBC - which JRE version and whose Java - now that is two more
isn't it.
Not sure that helps answer your question, but it is something for all of
us that update the wiki to think about.
