Hi,
I am also among the crowd "hankering" after a native MySQL/MariaDB-
connector in LO. I run LO both under Windows/Vista, Debian-Wheezy (testing!)
and Linux-Mint-12 (Lisa).
Debian: LO 3.5-rc3
Mint: LO 3.5-rc3
Vista: LO 3.3.3
The native connector works ONLY on Windows-Vista (quite flawlessly, actually).
For quite some time I have been following the "story" about the Linux
versions of the connector - without success. Trying to download it from the
LO extensions internet site and then to install it using the extension manager
I keep getting an error message
(Loading component library failed. ..../mysqlc.uno.so).
Regards
Heinz

Hi :)
There is not one for Windows yet. It would need to be built. The ones for Mac and
Gnu&LInux are here
http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/mysql-native-connector-for-mac-osx
No-one with Windows has built and uploaded their one yet. I think there are
instructions on how to compile it from Source but i gather you have to compile
the whole of the LibreOffice from Source at the same time. I odn't know where
to begin with that sort of thing and the only Windows i have access to is at
work where i don't really have time to do things like this (even if i knew how
to which i don't).Regards from
Tom :)

I hope MySQL isn't OT. I am trying to set up a MySQL database with LibreOffice
Base as a front-end. I have installed MySQL in Windows XP and I can create
tables and so forth and the next thing is to connect to MySQL. I have
downloaded the MySQL ODBC Connector but when I try to run it I get a
window for about 1ms and then it vanishes. Has anyone succeded in installing
this?

LO has an extension: "MySQL Native Connector". From what I have
read on this list, this extension works better than using an ODBC or
JDBC. You might want to download and install it instead.
