mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-35 rpm. I can connect to my MySQL databases, but I haven't tried forms.
The latest version of mysql-connector was 5.x.x last time I looked and I have at least one thing running (funambol) that requires this version or better of the connector, (BTW the connector is from the MySQL people).
The standard SuSE RPM distribution is still 3.x.x is therefore a bit problematic in this area as you tend to need to deploy both versions if you require the latest version for anything. I have not tested out 5.x.x with OpenOffice. (It would be interesting to find out if anyone had, as it would simplify things just to have the one version).
I haven't been able to do much with OOo base.
I have a database for my library, and the "books" table is linked to the "author" table. Well, OOo shows the numbers refering to the authors, not the names. I can correct this in "views", but they are read only.
So, I use rekall to manage my database.
I miss a reference or manual for dummies for OOo base. Maybe there is way, but I can't find it by trial and error. Rekall was much, much, much easier.

The frontend to MySQL is just wonderful. Have to have it. The report creation is almost there too. Dragging to create relationships is better than Access Can't swap now. . .
