com.mysql.jdbc.driver missing Base

I find LibreOffice Base quite useful. Reminds me of MS Access during my windoze days.

However upon installing, I came across this error when trying to connect to mysql database. Assuming you have installed Base properly, then what you need to do is to install the JDBC driver for MySQL.

apt-get install libmysql-java

This will do the trick.
