I was not informed of the discussion, because as I had stated you need to c= c my email should you wish that I receive notification of your answers. Anyway, the purpose of my attempt to use the port was to try and solve a lo= ng-standing problem: I cannot find a way to connect libreoffice-base to mys= ql. LO Base can connect to external DB server, if a proper driver is suppli= ed. JDBC is a more appropriate driver than ODBC, but a driver LO can use on= FreeBSD does not seem to exist. The LO add-ons page has JDBC for L=C4=B0nu= x, but that extension does not install on FreeBSD. I was able to connect math/gnumeric for example through the use of Gnome's = DB connection component databases/libgda5-mysql, but that does not seem to = work for libreoffice. As another example, KDE's Kexi program is also able t= o connect to the MySQL server. On the other hand, some solutions suggest in= stalling "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connec= tor/j/, but that does not make a whole lot of sense to me.
