Geoffrey P., there are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in
Ubuntu, as we have transitioned to LibreOffice. => Won't Fix

However, this package is available for LibreOffice via libreoffice-
mysql-connector .

For more on installing LibreOffice please see

Title:
  [needs packaging] MySQL Connector / OpenOffice.org

Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  MYSQL Connector/OpenOffice.org is a MySQL driver for OpenOffice.org.
  It can be used to connect from OpenOffice.org 3.1 to a MySQL server
  5.1 or newer.

  Before MySQL Connector/OpenOffice.org became available you'd have to
  use MySQL Connector/J (JDBC) or MySQL Connector/ODBC to connect to a
  MySQL server.

  Therefore the driver is also referred to as a native driver in the
  context of OpenOffice.org. The term native driver clashes with the
  MySQL definition of a native driver. MySQL Connector/OpenOffice.org
  does not implement the MySQL Client Server protocol. Technically
  speaking the MySQL Connector/OpenOffice.org is implemented as a proxy
  on top of the MySQL Connector/C++.

  The driver is delivered as an OpenOffice.org extension.
