Description Mechtilde 2019-02-09 16:08:33 UTC 
I use AOO as a client for several databases. Most of them were originally created with MySQL. Now I use Mariadb on my Debian machines.

There is no MySQL JDBC Driver available. I get the message: "Can't load com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"

For using Mariadb there is an own JDBC Driver. The name of the driver class is org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver.

I found hardcoded entries: 

main/connectivity/qa/complex/connectivity/JdbcLongVarCharTest.java	
  67             prop[0] = new PropertyValue("JavaDriverClass", 0, "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver", PropertyState.DIRECT_VALUE);

main/connectivity/source/drivers/mysql/YDriver.cxx	
 183                                                                         ,makeAny(::rtl::OUString(RTL_CONSTASCII_USTRINGPARAM("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver")))

 234             ::rtl::OUString sDriverClass(RTL_CONSTASCII_USTRINGPARAM("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"));
 354                                         ,::rtl::OUString(RTL_CONSTASCII_USTRINGPARAM("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"))

main/connectivity/source/drivers/mysql/mysql.xcu	
  41             <value>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</value>


I think it is necessary to be able to use both entries.

You can probably use the generic "JDBC" driver type and enter that class name there, but let's leave this bug open for adding native MariaDB support too.
Comment 2 Mechtilde 2019-02-10 11:03:38 UTC 
for documentation

under Linux the class path is: /usr/share/java/mariadb-java-client.jar

The data source URL is: jdbc:mysql://<server name>/<database name>

If you want to edit data you must add "?useHostsInPrivileges=false"
Comment 3 Peter 2019-07-28 03:13:55 UTC 
Is this still open?
