I’m having problems connecting to a single MySQL database. Any attempt to connect to a MySQL database lists all visible databases as tables in the LibreOffice Base configuration.
The tutorials and documentation that I find appears to be clear with these steps:
##Steps for Connecting to the Mysql Database
From LibreOffice → File → New → (Database Wizard) → (tick) Connect to an exiting database → (select) MySOL → (click) Next → (tick) Connect directly
Then I fill out the form with:
Database Names: test
Server: localhost
Then I click Next → (I enter username and check Password required and click) Test Connection → (The results is successful). → OK
(click) Next → (yes register, open for editing , click) Finish (click) Save
After numerous attempts carefully following the steps the results are the same, all visible databases showing up as tables.
Can someone advise me of what is missing or needs to be done?
Some research suggests this may have something to do with the way Objects and namespace are handled in recent versions of MySQL A Schema is handled as a database. If that is the case, is there a method of specifying schema as the database to connect to?
This is my environment:
OS: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS LibreOffiice: Version: 6.0.7.3 mysql: Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.26, for Linux (x86_64) MySQL Connector: Built-in - version 1.0.2
