[Libreoffice-qa] MySQL extension and Label Assistent freeze?

[Thomas Hackert]

Hello @ll,
maybe someone can confirm the following (and try to reproduce it 
with MySQL as well):

Prerequisites:
1. Installed MariaDB server (and ideally a test DB with a table 
filled with a couple of addresses)
2. Installed MySQL Connector extension (I used the one from 
Alexander. @Alexander: Thanks for your extension :) )
3. Previously created ODB file for your connection with your 
installed MariaDB-/MySQL server, which should appear at "Tools – 
Options – LibreOfficeDev – Databases"

Now to the test itself:
a. Go to "File – New – Labels"
b. Choose the name of your created ODB file on "Database"
c. Select the table with your addresses on "Table"
d. Select a couple of entries from "Database field" and add it via 
arrow symbol to the field "Label text" (I have used "Name", 
"Street", "Postal Code" resp. "Zip Code" and "City" in my language)
e. Mark "Sheet" below "Format"
f. Choose "Brand Avery A4" and "C2160 Avery Inkjet Label" (though I 
am not sure, if this is really needed)
g. Press "New document"

LO immediately freezes ... :( Interestingly, apart from that, I can 
use the MySQL extension without any problem to connect to MariaDB, 
create tables, change records and the like ... ;) The same steps 
work without any problem with LO Version: 4.1.3.2
Build ID: 70feb7d99726f064edab4605a8ab840c50ec57a on the same system 
... :(

LO: Version: 4.2.0.0.beta1 Build ID: 
f4ca7b35f580827ad2c69ea6d29f7c9b48ebbac7 with installed Germanophone 
lang- as well as helppack
OS: Debian Testing AMD64
MariaDB server: mysql  Ver 15.1 Distrib 5.5.34-MariaDB, for debian-
linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.1
Extension: MySQL Connector 1.0.2 (from 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lomysqlconnectorextension/files/4.2/Linux64/)

If you need any further information, feel free to ask :)
Thomas.
