OpenSuSE 10.1 Beta 1 - OpenOffice -2.0 – Database Can Not Connect to a MySQL due to missing files.

For OpenOffice connected to MySQL by ODBC
As I understand it OpenOffice and MySQL require
mysqlconnector-odbc
libmysql12-4.0.20
libmysql14-4.1.5
libmysql14-devel-4.1.5

For OpenOffice connected to MySQL by JDBC
As I understand it Java runtime environment is required.

For OpenOffice connected to Oracle and PostgreSQL and other types a connector of some sort is most likely required but I no experience with other types of databases so I can not comment.

Unfortunately I am not a knowledgeable database connection type so what is required to make connections between OpenOffice and the various databases could be a different from what is noted above.

I have found by past attempts to make OpenOffice to MySQL connections that  ascertaining which files are required is not a simple matter as there is a good deal of confusion as to which file is which due to some required files being renamed et. These are both MySQL files and MySQL Connector files.
