StarBase Connector for MySQL

[Larry Callaghan]

I tried to install the Connector for MySQL for my registered version of
StarOffice but the link goes to the openoffice.org site and when trying
to install it says it is only for OpenOffice.  Is this true?  Is there a
version for StarOffice?

The extension works in both StarOffice and OpenOffice.org. However, you
need at least StarOffice 9.1, StarOffice 9.0 won't do. The error message
shown in this case is misleading since it claims to require
OpenOffice.org 3.1, but this is a general bug in our extension
infrastructure, not related to the MySQL Connector extension.

Hi Larry,

please can you point me to the place where you have seen that the
extension is for OpenOffice.org only?

On the following website it is (IMHO) clearly marked for OOo and StarOffice:

http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/mysql_connector

Thanks

Marcus

I don't think that Larry meant to say that the extension was somewhere
in the web advertised as being for OpenOffice.org only.

But technically, an extension comes with embedded information about the
minimum/maximum program version it is intended for. And this information
is not branded, that is, the extension claims to be for "OpenOffice.org
3.1". Our extension framework sadly does not "brand" this before showing
it to the user, so no matter whether you install the extension in
StarOffice or StarSuite or BrOffice or OpenOffice.org - if it's the
wrong version, you'll get an error message saying the "OpenOffice.org
3.1" is required.

Not sure whether there already exists an issue for this.
