-== Enabling NeoOffice/J or OpenOffice.org/X11 to connect to MySQL databases ==+
- +
-* Download Connector/J from the [http://www.mysql.com/products/connector/ MySQL website].+
-** The included README gives much information.+
-** The most important keypoints are:+
-*** the class name of the JDBCdriver: <tt>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</tt>+
-*** the URL format: <tt>jdbc:mysql://host.domain/database_name</tt>+
-** You will need a version of Connector/J that supports Java 1.3.x, since that is the version of Java used in NeoOffice/J.+
- +
-*The jar file location:+
-** for OOo/X11: you can put it where you want. To let OOo know, you shoud go to "Tools->Options" menu item. Then in the "security" pane, there is a place to add directories to classpath. Click on browse and find your jar file.+
-** for Neo/J: I had to put it in the <tt><NeoOffice>/Contents/MacOS/classes</tt> folder to get it found. Didn't check with recent release if the previous classpath setting does work.+
-*** FYI. I just tried adding the MySQL jar file using the Security pane in the Tools->Options menu item Neo/J 1.1 Alpha 2. After adding the jar file in that pane and restarting Neo/J, I successfully connected to my MySQL database.+
- +
-With this basic setup the connection should work.+
- +
-Then you come to the fine tuning stuff: charset, etc...+
- +
-''There is also an attachment (.sxw) to [http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=13753 OpenOffice.org Issue 13753] which contains screenshots and a different location for placing the Connector/J file.''+
- +
-There are additional pointers available in [http://trinity.neooffice.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=1004 this thread on trinity] on other MySQL configuration issues.+
