I'm trying to create a connection from Writer to a MySQL data base I have in
my computer
The process I've followed is this, according on what I've found in the help:
File -> New -> Database
In the panel, I choose Connect to an existing data base -> MySQL
In the next panel, I select Connect using JDBC
In the next panel, I type the database name, the server (I think that either
localhost or 127.0.0.1 should do the job) and the port
My trouble is in the field MySQL JDB Driver class. I've typed the name of
the class that implements the JDBC driver (com.mysql.jdbc.Driver) but when I
click on the button Test class, it says that the JDBC driver couldn't be
loaded
Besides that, in the dialog I get by choosing Tools -> Options, in the
paragraph OpenOffice.org -> Java, by clicking in the button Class Path, I
specified the jar file which contains the above mentioned class
Anybody can give me some help? Thanks in advance
Just an off-the-cuff shoot-from-the-hip kind of thought, but ... would
this have anything to do with logging onto MySQL first (userid and
passwd) before you can connect to it?
