I've just setup a Ubunto 20.04 WAMP system in a Proxmox VM. I have installed OpenOffice 4.1.7 with the relevant MySQL JBDC connector to allow Base to be used as a front end for MySQL server. The system works well with no connection problems so far other than:

A user (OrderSys) is setup with access and privileges for just the order database.
However when logged in to Base as OrderSys with connection to the order database, both the order database and the information_schema database are shown under Tables.

Surely only the order database should show with its tables? Is there any way to get rid of information_schema database a this makes it vulnerable.

Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

Many thanks

Awkward issue with MySQL on Ubuntu: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=98371 (you have to be system root to create a db admin account)

And you have to set up the JDBC driver path under Tools>Options>"Advanced" (or "Java") [Class Path...] which is /usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java.jar on my system.
I strongly recommend to use LibreOffice on a Linux system. Everything is installable painlessly from distribution packages.

Thanks for the reply. Understood.... Trouble is I have many templates, forms, queries, reports etc setup in open office. would this all be completely and easily transferable?

Yes.
