Hi Tom,
Just my - maybe naive - 2 pennies worth of comments:
As I mentioned before, I have been using OO/LO for years together with
BASE with MySQL (which - also "sigh") now "belongs" to Oracle as well.
As a connector to the DB I have tried out the Java version (always had
trouble with it one way or the other!) as well as ODBC/UNIXODBC (which
is what I am now using under Linux and which works sort of!). With
MySQL there is also the native connector which I would actually prefer
to use - but, yes you guess right - does NOT work on either LO 3.3.3 or
3.4.1 under Linux. A bit confusing, isn't it!
I am not giving up hope yet for LO 3.4.2 - especially since it targets
business...
Isn't there a OpenSource fork of MySQL called MariaDB?!?
Regards
H

Thanks, Andreas.
To summarize what I learned from that second link: I need to install
sun-java6-jre_6.22-0ubuntu1~10.04 into a directory of my choosing, then
direct LO to use this special older version (which, it is reported, does
not cause the awful slowdown we're experiencing).
Look like a short-term solution I can live with. Give me hope that I get
back to work, later today
The long-term solution appears entirely opaque, however. Is the problem
being reported to Oracle (who I presume is behind the latest sun-java
updates). Is this an Oracle plot to blow OO and LO opensource dbs out of
the water?
Is there any hope we can cut this dependancy upon a java version that is
now associated with Oracle?
Sigh.
Tom

My chrystal ball tells me that you run LibreOffice with a recent Java
version under Linux, therefore this is the solution to your problem:
