Problem can be solved on trusty as well as on precise by uninstalling libreoffice-mysql-connector 1.0.2+LibO... and manually installing mysql-connector-ooo-1.0.1-linux-x86_64.oxt (from http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/projectrelease/mysql-connector-openofficeorg-101-linux-x8664) as extension within libreoffice.
Obviously the ubuntu libreoffice 4.2 native mysql-connector is faulty.
