Hi :) Could you copy&paste that to a wiki-page? Then maybe we could expand it a bit later to cover the main platforms so that point&click users like me are less scared of doing it?
How about https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications/Connectors/MySql or https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Base/Connectors/MySql Something like that? Which do you prefer for fitting in with where normal users find guides and stuff on the wiki? I prefer as sub-pages off the Publications page.
