Trail of Tears: MySQL, ODBC, & OpenOffice 1.0

Posted by Hemos on Monday February 10, 2003 @04:17AM from the getting-it-all-working dept.

Joe Barr writes " I found a wonderful "how-to" piece called "OpenOffice.org 1.0, ODBC and MySQL," by John McCreesh. In the introduction, McCreesh writes about OpenOffice.org 1.0's "best kept secret" -- that secret being the fact that hidden away inside, completely unknown to most OpenOffice users, is a user-friendly front end for databases that is "a Microsoft Access (and more) equivalent." That may be so, but there is a very good reason why it's a secret: it's too damn hard getting OpenOffice and ODBC wired up correctly."

It was brutal and painful, and something that Americans don't like to talk about.
Isn't that a good reason to use it?
