Unfortunately, even with the Mysql connector (which is actually pretty good it has to be said) there will be times where you will have to resort to SQL. Watch out for bugs / deficiencies in the in-built OOo SQL parser when executing complex queries, you will have to switch the parser off to get any meaningful result, even with the Mysql connector, and there is a strange date calculation issue floating around that makes adding and subtracting dates error prone.
