LibreOffice Base JDBC connection failure

English Applications

I am getting the error message The driver class “org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver” could not be loaded.
when trying to connect to a Mariadb 10 server from LOBase.

Libreoffice 26.2.4.2 (X86_64)
Mariadb 10.

Does anyone know what I should be looking for?

java-21-openjdk

and

mariadb-java-client

are installed

I notice that, in my current configuration under Tools>Options>LibreOffice>Advanced, I have JRE selected and the only entry for Vendor/Version shows

N/A           21.01.11

also the Class Path window is empty.

Is that correct?

To my knowledge yes.

…in that case, where else could the problem lie?

I am getting

Error code: 1000

The driver class “” could not be loaded

…in that case, where else could the problem lie?

With ‘com.mysql.jdbc.Driver’ set as JDBC driver class I am getting
’
Error code: 1000

The driver class “” could not be loaded
’

and with ‘org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver’ I get

’
Error code: 1000

The driver class “org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver” could not be loaded

Check https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/jdbc-driver-cannot-be-loaded/82544/5.
In general, you better ask tsuch question on this forum, there is much more knowledge about LO than I have.
