No, the connector should work regardless of the locale of your OOo.

I assume you use the official build from www.openoffice.org, yes?

If you execute this Basic script
Sub Test
orb = GetProcessServiceManager()
enumDrivers = orb.createContentEnumeration( _
"com.sun.star.sdbc.Driver" )

sDrivers = ""
While enumDrivers.hasMoreElements
sDrivers = sDrivers + enumDrivers.nextElement.ImplementationName _
+ chr(13)
Wend
MsgBox sDrivers
End Sub

, does it display a line ending with ".MysqCDriver"?

Ciao
Frank

MySQL Connector for OpenOffice.org 1.0

2009-11-16T01:09:40Z

Hello,

I just installed the MySQL Connector for OpenOffice.org 1.0 on OpenOffice.org (version 3.1.1) on two differenent computers with Windows XP.
On both machines I restarted OpenOffice.org (as your Wiki recommands), in one case also restarted the computer itself.

But when I start Base, I don't so any MySQL connector in de Wizard (as shown on the Wiki)

BTW I use the Dutch version of OpenOffice

Did I something wrong, or is the MySQL Connector only working well in the English OpenOffice?

Hope you can help me.

Regards, Peter

Intresting! That problem seems to exist only under KDE 3. I did a logout
(from KDE3) / login (into KDE 4) and was able to send an email without
chrashing OO.

(If it's of any interest: SuSE Linux 11.1, 64bit)

What works fine, if you have your document ready when you start the

Hi Norbert,

Apart from the assistance that Frank already has given, the following:

I guess that is a version from a Linux distro?

Ctrl-P offers to open the mail merge window from before OpenOffice.org 2.
The e-mail has been built in later, as a Python function, on top of the
mail merge wizard that was created for OOo 2. If I am correct, it was
done and is maintained by Caolan McNamara.

Pls follow Franks advice wrt reproducing the bug. That is really helpful
in repairing the problem.
You may also try the Vanilla OpenOffice.org on Linux. Maybe that does
make a difference.

Ooops.

Hmm, that's sad, crash reports can often give a good first idea what's
going wrong.

None that I know, sorry.
Since you're not using the Windows version, I assume we talk 'bout
Linux? In this case, if you feel halfway familiar with it, you might
want to attach gdb to the soffice.bin process, until it crashs, and then
see if gdb is able to produce a meaningful backtrace. Sometimes, seeing
this also helps knowing what's wrong.

Hi Frank,

I got the mailing out using the windows version of OO which doesn't seem
to have that problem.
Sending the mails manually wasn't such a good idea. >2.000 mails !!!!

I didn't let OO to send a crash report because it didn't ask me! Just
all open windows disappear and the
"Dokument Wiederherstellung" Dialog pops up...

If I find some time, I'll try to track down this problem to a more
informative point.
Is there a way (maybe some hidden commandline option) to start OO to let
it produce some trace / debug output ??

thanks for your help!

... in some cases, such as the one you describe, Base hasn't stakes in
the problem, it seems. Well, that's an educated guess, without
reproducing the issue, or at least seeing more information about the
crash (did you let OOo send a crash report?, one cannot say more.

If the problem is reproducible for you, with a certain document and
database, I suggest you submit an issue, so the problem can be looked
into more thoroughly.

Save the single documents to a temporary location, and mail them manually.

Since you meanwhile asked this question in dev@api, with more details, I
answered it over there. Bottom line: chances are the driver supports
FORWARD_ONLY cursors only, while your code requires a freely scrollable
cursor. For details, see my other mail, please.

This is the best solution. I did it with hsqldb19 version yesterday,
when checked it.
I think this part not changed when csw hsqldb19 was created.

Not so much, can live with it.
One question only, where can I find Type value decipher.
For example, what data type value 4 meas, my guess is integer, because
it is an ID field :

64 <prop oor:name="Type">
65 <value>4</value>
66 </prop>

Mailmerge crash (and I have to send out a mailing tomorrow!!!!)

2009-10-26T12:15:50Z

Hello everybody!

(I'm not quite sure if this is the right mailing list for my issue. But
I think, since mail-merge is somehow related to base ... ;-) )

I've been working with OO 3.1.0.6 for quite a long time now. Since this
problem hit me this evening, I upgraded to 3.1.1.1. But got the same
crash...

As always, I created a .odt document containing form letter fields. (I
did many many mailings in the past). Printing to paper works. I tried
that with 2 or 3 recipients. But sending as email crashes.
If you want to send a form letter as email, you have to use the
Assistant. (Simply pressing Ctrl-P doesn't work because "as e-mail"
doesn't exist there. BTW why ???????)
I sucessfully got through all the steps of the form-letter assistant
dialog. But when I press the "Send" button in the last step, all windows
disappear and the document-recreation dialog pops up. No error mesage.
Nothing....

This is even more a big problem to me now, because a have to send out a
mailing by tomorrow!!!

Any ideas what I could do?

Norbert

Template tables source

2009-10-26T02:53:52Z

Hi,
I prepare for OOo Base Guide some source documents.
I found Standards Distributed Schema wiki page:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Standard_Distributed_Schema

My question that how can I easily retrieve the tables definitions. I
need fields, data types and sizes etc.
Regards,

Re: MySQL Connector for OpenOffice.org 1.0 - what about old versions of MySQL?

According to http://www.cao-faktura.de/content/view/24/42/ the free
version is under GPL, like MySQL is - so there shouldn't be a problem
using an actual MySQL verison. Likely they have a close sourced version
and prefer not pay for OEM licenses.

MySQL 3.23 is too old and not supported anymore - it lacks of several
features like character set support, prepared statements etc. which are
essential for OpenOffice Base.

MySQL Connector for OpenOffice.org 1.0 - what about old versions of MySQL?

2009-10-18T19:07:25Z

Hi,

I just installed the connector and tried to connect to my local host,
but it didn't work - I had not noticed that the connector needs MySQL
5.1, and mine is 3.23.

Normally I wouldn't care and just update, but there is a reason why I
write this mail.

Here in Germany we have an extremely popular opensource business
application named "CAO-Faktura". It only uses MySQL <5 and does not work
with 5.x, and because of the new licensing policy many people would like
to continue with their old MySQL versions. Many, many small to medium
companies use CAO and would love to use an elegant connector for
mailmerge, reporting etc.

Is there a way to make the connector work with old MySQL versions?

Regards
Clemens

If you refer to BLOB data type, you can try the AndrewBase.odt tutorial,

that's strange. When I click on [Get it] there is a "Thank you" page and
then the extension can be saved locally. Can you download the file directly?

You mean that also the link for license and more details lead to a white
page in your internet browser? Or is there any content on the page?

Right, the link points to this mailing list where more people are
subscribed than to a mail address for a single person only.

Re: Sun MySQL Connector/OOo (Beta) - code page + queries path

2009-10-11T23:06:55Z

Hi,
OK, now I have polish letters (ąśćźżęłóń) in OpenOffice when using MySql
Native connector. I figured it out, that this connector, the same as
JDBC connector, handles connection's code page different than ODBC
connector.
This is why my database with default charset being latin1 -- cp1252 West
European worked fine with polish letters only when using OpenOffice and
ODBC.

I changed database properties to below settings:
Character set: utf8 -- UTF-8 Unicode
Collation: utf8_polish_ci

Quite obvious!

and now I have polish letters using all three connectors (native, ODBC
and JDBC).

fileds data type

2009-10-11T01:46:35Z

Good Morning,
i'm searching a solution to insert entire file of different format (
jpeg image, calc sheet, write document and so on ) into base database.
Someone can help me on this matter?
My first choice is for standard file base format HSQLDB, Mysql or
postgres can be more productive for this use?
Many thanks

Re: conditional print

2009-10-10T13:28:31Z

Hi Ocke,

sorry, but for me it's not a good workaround; it can be acceptable for
integers, but in case of formatting calculated fields as strings, you
can easily get too many decimals displayed. I prefer to wait that it
will be fixed.

Thanks,
Franco

mysql connector for openoffice.org

2009-10-09T10:52:16Z

Hello--

I'm interested in downloading mysql connector for openoffice.org 3.1 --but
when I click on the Windows button "Get it!" I get an empty page and no
download. I tried other buttons with the same result...

In fact almost *all the links on the page*
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/mysql_connector lead only
to an empty page.

Can you please help? I tried the "Contact us" link at the bottom--empty
page. Your email is the only avenue open...

thx,
Sr. Dorothy
