  • No need to go through an additional Connector installation routine (ODBC/JDBC)
  • No need to configure or register an additional connector (ODBC)
  • No need to install or configure a driver manager (ODBC)
  • No need for a Java Runtime Environment (JDBC)

The extension (for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris) can be found at extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/mysql_connector
