            Bug ID: 117931
           Summary: The connection to the data source could not be
                    established.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Base
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: bojan007 at gmail.com

Description:
After upgrading the OS from Suse Leap 42.3 to Leap 15.0 mysql/mariadb database
cannot be accessed any more. The error message reads as follows:
The connection to the data source could not be established.
SQL Status: 08001
Unable to load the libmysqlcppconn.so library.
So far I used a native mysql connector mysql-connector-linux_4-3_x86_64.oxt
without any problems.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run LO and open a template with database fields entry
2.Press Ctrl-Shift-F4
3.Enter a password => Error message

Actual Results:  
No connection to mysql/mariadb database

Expected Results:
Connection to mysql/mariadb database


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
I tried mariadb JDBC driver and it worked fine. However, I sticked to the
native driver since all my templates are populated with plurality of database
fields, and it would be a real nightmare to make everything from the scratch.
