Louis,
I guess things have changed since I got MySQL-Connector-Java to work with OO.o Base. To my knowledge, at that time there was no extension available. I had to install the mysql-connector-java tarball on my system. The good part of that is that it is always there when I update OO.o. With the extension, you may have to install it each time you update OO.O. Here is an item that may help you:

http://rpbouman.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html

This is an archive, so scan down to "Sunday, December 03, 2006" and you will find a procedure to install MySQL-connector-java into OO.o, titled "MySQL meets OpenOffice.org".

This procedure does not use the extension manager (unopkg), so it may be a workaround if you can't get the extension to work.

Good luck.

Thank you for the attention.
