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 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: 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.
