Hans:

I've used myodbc instead of jdbc to reasonable success.  

There is a pretty good myodbc install available from the mysql folks. 
After installing it,  there is a file (... erm..... 
/etc/myodbc.conf?) and you can enter your data source there.  Once
that's done, if you select 'ODBC' as your driver type in Base, the
dropdown box for selecting a datasource should contain your db of
choice.

Also, you need to add a user to your MySQL DB with necessary
permissions from '127.0.0.1'.  I haven't figured out why yet, but I've
had problems with accessing from 'localhost'.

Hope this helps, please feel free to write.
