Description

I am creating a mysql database connection with no server, which in mysql dialect is legal and simply means localhost.

The test button respond successfully.

However, when using the connection, in an Import table for example, it answers with an Error connecting to database: (using class org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver).

Without asking the question of how on earth it is programmatically possible, because you are supposingly using the same driver with the same parameters, this is quite a source of insecurity for the user.
