=== FIXED issues ===
+
 
+
====  FIXED: Existing table fields cannot be altered ====
+
 
+
The implementation simply didn't get that far (css.sdbcx.XAlterTable not implemented) ... for the final release, we expect this to be fixed.
+
 
+
==== FIXED: The user interface is not remotely intuitive ====
+
 
+
That's true. The final version will run in OpenOffice.org 3.0 only, which will have a dedicated and thus vastly improved UI.
+
FIXED: The driver doesn't run in OpenOffice.org 3.0 developer snapshots
+
 
+
Well, it's not intended to do. Please use it with the 2.4 release only, everything else is not supported right now, and may lead to all kinds of unwanted results.
+
 
+
==== FIXED: Specifying a different socket path is not supported (Linux) ====
+
 
+
Currently, the driver expects the socket to be /tmp/mysql.sock. This is hard-coded, and will be fixed with new UI (3.0). There are 2 workarounds:
+
 
+
1) Specify an IP number and a port number, like this: 127.0.0.1:3306/yourdb. In this case the driver will establish a connection via TCP and not a local socket.
+
 
+
2) Add a link from the real socket file to /tmp/mysql.sock by running this command "ln -s /<path to file>/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock". However, this will probably need to be done by the root user and depending on your computer's settings the /tmp folder may be cleared each time the machine restarts. Meaning that this must be done after each boot.
