I am not using any special packages or extensions.
I am not using MariaDB, this is a mysql installation.
My understanding is that direct connection just requires installation of libreoffice-mysql-connector package.
I had problems with dependencies trying to install the ODBC Connector deb package from MySQL communities. I did not pursue.
The JDBC connector from communities is a functioning workaround, but not that easy to configure.
mysql-connector-java/now 8.0.28-1ubuntu20.04 all [installed,local]
