Likely they have a close sourced version and prefer not pay for OEM licenses. MySQL 3.23 is too old and not supported anymore - it lacks of several features like character set support, prepared statements etc. which are essential for OpenOffice Base. /Georg -- Sun Microsystems GmbH Georg Richter Sonnenallee 1 Senior Engineering Manager 85551 Kirchheim-Heimstetten mailto: [email protected] Germany http://www.sun.de Amtsgericht Muenchen: HRB161028 Geschaeftsfuehrer: Thomas Schroeder, Wolfgang Engels, Wolf Frenkel Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrates: Martin Haering
