Hi all.
Do understand well that the 1.1.4 capacity to connect to an existing
database (via the New > Spreadsheet > Tools > Data Sources ,etc ...) is
no longer available in coming OOo-2.0 ?
The exact steps may not be the same but I'm almost sure that the
functionality is still available ( and should be easier to use).
I am not so sure about that.
Yes it is suppose to work go to: File -> New -> Database -> Connect to an
existing Database
and you should be able to connect.
I have been able to connect to a dBase test database I have but I have NOT
been able to connect to a test MySQL database I have with no idea of why not
so I subscribed to user database list. Unfortunately either that list is dead
or something as in 3 days I have received exactly 1 posting saying I was
subscribed.
Previously I had posted questions concerning that very issue on this list
without receiving comments which is a good indicator that database issue are
not on the top of people's list of issues at the present time.

Are you using ODBC or JDBC? I did some limited testing today and I was
able to connect to a MySQL database using the latest production JDBC
driver. I added a brief descriptions, complete with pictures an arrows
to my web site. Let me know after you have it so that I can remove it
from my web site.

At which step do things fail for you?
