The name of a Java class. In this general context, this Java class is supposed to expose the JDBC interfaces, and be a driver to a DBMS. In this particular context, a driver to MySQL. When one uses the wizard to create a new odb, and chooses "MySQL", the next question is (was?) "what driver?", with a choice between ODBC, JDBC and native (if installed...). For ODBC you give a DSN source name. It better be a MySQL source, but that's not technically checked/guaranteed. The connection, on the LibreOffice/SDBC side is then an ODBC one, but some settings are automatically hardcoded to the right ones for MySQL. For JDBC you give a "class name" and parameters. The class name tells LibreOffice which driver to load (what Java class). Again, it better be a MySQL driver, but that's not technically checked/guaranteed. The connection, on the LibreOffice/SDBC side is then a JDBC one, but some settings are automatically hardcoded to the right ones for MySQL. Native, I think you understand :) That's the one that you remade, excising out the MySQL C++ connector.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
