[Libreoffice-qa] Bug 59481 - FILEOPEN: Linux rpm: Native MySQL-connector aoo-my-sdbc-1.1.0 didn't work any more with LO 4.0

[Robert Großkopf]

Hello Dan,

I have reported
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59481
(FILEOPEN: Linux rpm: Native MySQL-connector aoo-my-sdbc-1.1.0 didn't
work any more with LO 4.0)
and
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59516
(FILEOPEN: Native MySQL-connector couldnt be installed under Windows in
LO 4.0)

There is a difference in the behavior under Linux and Windows. The old
connector 1.0.1 doesn't work under Linux since 3.5. So you could only
connect with the 1.1.0 of AOO. Under Linux this connector could be
installed in LO 4.0.0.1 rc. Under Windows the installation fails.
Linux-user might think: Connector is installed, no error appears, should
work - but it doesn't: "... No SDBC driver was found for the given URL."

First I thought it was the same problem at Windows, but it wasn't (I
have no Window here at all, so it is reported from other persons by mail
to me). So I have to report another bug. See
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59481#c1

Only one bug in one report I have often heard. So I linked this two
reports with "See also ..."

Bug 59533 is a duplicate of 59516. Don't know, why the reporter is
writing a new bug. He always noticed bug 59481 and then he could also
notice the link to bug 59516. I will mark this report as a duplicate.

Regards

Robert
