Public bug reported:

MYSQL Connector/OpenOffice.org is a MySQL driver for OpenOffice.org. It
can be used to connect from OpenOffice.org 3.1 to a MySQL server 5.1 or
newer.

Before MySQL Connector/OpenOffice.org became available you'd have to use
MySQL Connector/J (JDBC) or MySQL Connector/ODBC to connect to a MySQL
server.

Therefore the driver is also referred to as a native driver in the
context of OpenOffice.org. The term native driver clashes with the MySQL
definition of a native driver. MySQL Connector/OpenOffice.org does not
implement the MySQL Client Server protocol. Technically speaking the
MySQL Connector/OpenOffice.org is implemented as a proxy on top of the
MySQL Connector/C++.

The driver is delivered as an OpenOffice.org extension.

License: GPL with the FLOSS exception
Notes: Comes in 32-bit and 64-bit versions (must install appropriate version 
for architecture).
