Hi Tom,
It isn't awkward to use myodbc/unixodbc at all. I had used it for quite some
time before trying JDBC (and giving up on it!). The installation is somewhat
more involved (odbc.ini und odbcinst.ini...). But then it works beautifully.
Naturally I would in the end prefer to use the native connection. However,
since I have a job to do I don't really want to spend the time digging into
the depth of every piece of software. One tends to do that a lot anyway in
the Linux world. It's nice to really UNDERSTAND things, but sometimes -
enough is enough!
Regards from Salzburg

P.S.: By the way, having worked for nearly 30 years as a systems engineer
at IBM, I am quite used to "digging into..."

Hi Heinrich
If it works, use it :) If it's awkward to use odbc then you can always look at
the issue again later. Hopefully things will have moved on by then although
Base is not developing fast right now.

Tom :)

I don't think it is a bug...I'm willing to bet the "connector" you have
is for a different version of MySQL or a different version of the
client.
What distribution are you using? Not all Linux distros delete /tmp on
boot. You need to ensure that your distro is deleting /tmp on boot,
delete the user directory, REBOOT, then try your MySQL thing. OpenSuSE
does not delete /tmp by default to speed booting. Ubuntu has a lot of
bugs and only deletes it randomly under certain situations. A lot of
stuff, especially for uno it appears, gets left out in /tmp.
