Thanks for the reply. When I go to 'save as' the Data Format drop-down only has XML as an option, unlike my Windows version that has Mysql and others. I installed the Linux version using apt so I did not build it myself. Perhaps the official package was built without this support? If so, would I need to build from the source code to get the MySQL option?
