title: JDBC connection cannot connect when there are null dates
body: <p>Queries to MySQL return the error, </p>

  <p>when accessing database through libreoffice via jdbc.  I have found solutions that recommend the following: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Edit -> Database -> Properties 
    Select the "Advanced Properties" tab. 
    Under "Name of the MySQL database", enter: </p>
    
    <p><code>&lt;database_name&gt;?zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull</code></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, I am using Libreoffice 4.4 and when I go to the settings location recommended above there is no "Name of the MySQL database" field.  Where to I place the <code>convertToNull</code> command so I can access my database?</p>
