Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 83983
Any access to mysql odbc leads to an instant crash (under Leopard)
Last modified: 2008-05-20 11:13:53 UTC
Hi, I upgraded to Leopard and have trouble since then to access my MySQL Database. The following problem happens under the latest Openoffice using X11 (2.3), the Aqua alpha nad even NeoOffice. When I try to access or create an Address Source that is connected to MySQL using Connector ODBC, OpenOffice crashes instantly. Steps to reproduce: Here are steps to reproduce the error that "works" every time here (this one does not even really access MyODBC): 1. File -> Wizards -> Address Data Source 2. other external data source, Next 3. Settings 4. MySQL (ODBC), Next 5. As "Name" type in any NON Existing (or existing) data source name 6. click "Test Connection" This crash is even reproductive if MyODBC is NOT installed or when I don't use the actual Name of my database.
clu->wurzel: can you confirm that?
@clu : I don't have Leopard, so I'll have to see if the problem occurs with Tiger.
Hi, I've tried : NeoOffice 2.2.3 patch 2 Aqua OpenOffice.org 2.4 (build m243) OpenOffice.org 2.4 X11 I can not reproduce the crash, the wizard executes correctly and I can assign the field names of my MySQL table to the placeholders. Questions to the original poster : - are you using a local or a remote MySQL database (mine is a local, i.e. same workstation server) ? - which version of MyODBC (mine is 3.51.23) ? Alex

The OP should also have in mind that the Java wizards don't work on Leopard for the current implementations of OOo. If the Change Address datasource wizard is Java based, then the problem is one for Mac porting, and not for Database access. Alex
Correction to my last statement : the Java wizards don't work for the 2.3 series on Leopard, but should work for 2.4, at least according to this thread : http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=4051&sid=bd737528b29cf6ba2ca6031adeebbff0
