Dear MySQL and OpenOffice.org users, The first preview version of MySQL Connector/OpenOffice.org has been released. MySQL Connector/OpenOffice.org is a new native MySQL database connector for OpenOffice.org 2.4. It can be used to connect OpenOffice.org applications to the MySQL Server. You can download it from the MySQL Forge download page at
http://downloads.mysql.com/forge/openoffice_preview The MySQL Connector/OpenOffice.org is easy to use. It is provided as an OpenOffice.org Extension. Extensions can be installed through the Extension Manager of OpenOffice.org. The Extension Manager can be started from within the office by pressing the menu item Tools - Extension Manager. Before the availability of the MySQL Connector/OpenOffice.org, OpenOffice.org office-suite users had to use MySQL Connector/J (JDBC) or MySQL Connector/ODBC to connect to the MySQL Server. Using the new MySQL Connector/OpenOffice.org has the following advantages * Easy installation through the OpenOffice.org Extension Manager. * Seamless integration into OpenOffice.org. * No need for additional Connector installation routines (ODBC/JDBC) * No need to configure and/or register an additional Connector (ODBC) * No need to install and/or configure a driver manager (ODBC) MySQL Connector/OpenOffice.org is available as a development preview version. We do not recommend using it in production environments. We kindly ask users and developers to try it out and provide us with feedback, bug reports, bug fixes, patches, etc. To discuss the new MySQL Connector/OpenOffice.org, please subscribe to the mailing list [email protected] on http://dba.openoffice.org . More information is available on the projects wiki page at http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/Connector_OpenOffice Enjoy! /Georg -- Georg Richter, Development Manager - Connectors & Client Connectivity MySQL GmbH, Dachauer Str.37, D- 80335 München, www.mysql.com Geschäftsführer: Kaj Arnö - HRB München 162140 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
