You need a working mysql-server

I tried it with a mysql-server from stable.

there you need a testdatabase with a table

I installed libmysql-java at the client under Squeeze where also is
installed OpenOffice.org

Then:
Open OpenOffice.org Base
Choose "Connection to an existing database"
Choose MySQL in the listbox -> Continue
Choose Java Database Connectivity -> Continue
Input Database name and Database server -> Continue
Input User name and if password required -> Continue
-> Finish
then save this *.odb file

open this *.odb file and choose Tables
input your user name and password if required
then you get the error message
