Re: Error: Unknown database 'root@localhost'

Hello Stefan,

I could not understand that people will connect as "root" to mysql. A
bad idea for anybody who is interested in a save system.

You have connected and can see the tables of the mysql-database?

I have tried it, with the assistant I cannot get any connection, but
when I finish ist works - not only for one database but for all
databases of mysql at the same time.
When I drag and drop data I have to select a database first. Example: I
have a table "holidays". OpenOffice assistant asks for the name and only
writes "holidays". I will create the tabele in "test". So I have to
change the name to "test.holidays". So mysql will save it in the
database test.

Good luck
