bryan, thanks for reporting this.
However, I cannot reproduce this :(. I tried both RC1 and RC2 ....
Are you using MySQL via JDBC or ODBC?

fs->clu: can you reproduce this?

I'm using all RedHat-9.0 rpms for MySQL, MyODBC, unixODBC. 

...err... I just tried this on another RH9.0 box running OOo-1.1beta2
and I can't reproduce the bug. I've got the same MySQL/MyODBC rpms
installed on both systems. I just upgraded to OOo-1.1rc (the same
version that shows the 'bug' on my other machine) as well with no
problems.

I've no idea what causes the problem on my local machine. If no-one
can reproduce the problem, I guess we should end this thread!

thanks for looking into it, though.
cheers,
Bryan

No, don't end the thread -- if you can still reproduce the
problem, please get a stack trace!  If the builtin crash
reporter doesn't pop up, then please use gdb to get a backtrace;
see http://kegel.com/openoffice/#dump

Turns out my last post was mistaken:

The second system I tested which *did not* show the bug wasn't RH9.0
afterall, but rh8.0. I've since been able to reproduce the crash on my
RH9.0 home system. It is real afterall!

To reproduce the bug on OOo-1.1rc1, RH9.0 with MyODBC etc.:
1) Open a Writer document and open the Data-Sources window
2) Open the Administrate Data Sources dialog and click "New Data Source"
3) Set the Database Type -> MySQL
4) Click the "Tables" tab (or select Tables from the tree)
... at this point OOo exits with the following stack dump:

Hi Bryan,

I remember to heard about a bug in the unixODBC libs. Which version do
you use? And may be if you aren't using the newest one, could you
please test if this works.

Thanks,

Ocke

He's using MyODBC, not UnixODBC; they are different, I think.

Bryan, looks like you have found a bug in MyODBC.  Can you
take it up with the MyODBC folks and report back here with
what they say?  They'll probably be very happy to get a
crash report from you for a reproducible crash, and will
be able to provide a fix.

I know, but unixODBC is the layer OOo is talking to and unixODBC then
talks to MyODBC.

Best regards,

Ocke

PS: OOo.org
       |
    unixODBC
       |
    MyODBC or PostgreSQL or any kind of ODBC driver

Shows what I know.
BTW, everyone may already know this, but here are some guides to
testing this combination:
redhat 7.3: http://www.unixodbc.org/doc/OOoMySQL.pdf
redhat 9: http://www.unixodbc.org/doc/OOoMySQL9.pdf

Red Hat 9 uses the following:

MyODBC-2.50.39-11.i386.rpm
unixODBC-2.2.3-6.i386.rpm

Since unixODBC-2.2.6 is the one with the
bugfix in it, I'd say the reporter really
needs to upgrade to UnixODBC-2.2.6.  
Unless he can reproduce it there, we should consider
this a problem in his 'old' version of UnixODBC.
I'm marking this bug as INVALID to reflect that fact.

Bryan, feel free to reopen this issue if you can
still reproduce after upgrading to UnixODBC-2.2.6
and/or report this issue to the UnixODBC team.
Thanks!

looks like dan has predicted (problem with older version) - so i 
close this bug

CLU->bryan: feel free to reopen, if you still have a problem with it

.

change subcomponent to 'none'
