Mysql Problem and OpenOffice Base

[Revo___]

Hello community,

you've helped me with my MysqlServer some time ago.
Everything worked well after you helped me.

When I try to connect via OpenOffice Base now,
it asks for a JBCD-Driver-Class.

Perhaps you can help me again,
or is this an OpenOffice related question?

If you need more information to help me,
please ask.

It's predominanently a java question, I think.

I connect to MySQL using the driver downloaded from here:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/5.1.html

The driver file is mysql-connector-java-5.1.7-bin.jar. I don't know which JVM you are using. I know that for the Sun jvm you just copy that file to the to the jre/lib/ext directory, then restart OOo. You'll have to search for your jre/lib/ext directory - I don't know where the Ubuntu devs hide it (I keep my jre in /opt).
