The method of installing the j connector should be similar to
installing it on any Operating System. from the MySQL website download
the zip file to your desktop: mysql-connector-java-5.1.25.zip. Double
click it to unzip it producing the "mysql-connector-java-5.1.25" folder.
Drag it to the Document folder. Open LibreOffice. Command + comma key
combination opens a dialog. Look down the list the has LibreOffice at
the top for Advanced. Click it. (This is the Java page of the dialog.
Click the "Class Path" button to open the Class Path dialog. Now click
the "Add Archive" button to browse to the location of
"mysql-connector-java-5.1.25-bin.jar". (It is in
"Document/mysql-connector-java-5.1.25/".) Highlight the file and click
Open. The path to the file is now entered in the "Class Path" dialog.
Click OK. Click OK in the Java page of the dialog. Now close
LibreOffice. The connector has been installed in LibreOffice.

Found j connector instead. http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/
How to install it in Mac OS? Quite a few articles advice against setting
the Class variable like
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2509138/classpath-on-mac-and-how-does-mac-look-for-mysql-connecytor-java-bin-jar
and the rest of the things I have read are just too heavy to grasp.
