LO 5.1-beta2 Base -- reports

#1

Hello,
I have just installed LO 5.1.-beta2 under Linux-Mint-17.2. First tests show that
connecting to a server MySQL-Database through JDBC functions alright. I can work
with tables etc.
However, when trying to run a report on a view in that database, LO 5.1-beta2
crashes. Things work o.k. under 4.4.7.2. Of course, 5.1 is only in beta, however,
I wonder whether anybody has tried this out.
As an aside - I have been having to specify "autoReconnect=true" for the connection
string with JDBC. This is because my database server has a 1 minute timeout specified
for idle connections and won't increase this value. Has anybody looked at implementing
such an autoReconnect function for the native MySQL-connector? Under THAT connector
one has to restart LO when the server times out. This is not acceptable in a normal
production environment. If LO's dependence on Java is meant to end at any time in the
future, this might have to be implemented to keep LO-Base viable. On the other hand -
I can't imagine an office system without a good enough connection to a widely used
back-end relational DB such as MySQL.
