<pre>After having solved the problem with an import into mysql, I still continued
looking for an "easier" solution, and tried out the CSV Jdbc bridge from
<a href="http://csvjdbc.sourceforge.net/">http://csvjdbc.sourceforge.net/</a>
I could add my CSV directory as a data source all right, but after that I had
no luck running the actual mail merge.
After pressing Print, Yes (to forms letter), Ok, I got an error popup without
any text. There was just a title bar: "LibreOffice 5.1 - Fatal error" and an
otherwise empty box with a yellow (empty) speech bubble and an OK button. After
clicking OK, libreoffice crashed.
What should have happened:
- even if the jdbc is somehow faulty, I'd expect a meaningful diagnostic
message and no crash.
Again, not a good impression when this happens while attempting to win a newbie
over from Microsoft Office.</pre>
