Sorry to bother again: this one took me some time.
After updating to libgda-3.99.5 I was unable to connect to my
old DSN, any attempt was failing with no useful informations:
$ gda-test-connection-4.0 -s tachet
** (gda-test-connection-4.0:7130): WARNING **: Can't open
connection to DSN tachet: No description
After diving into the sources I found the MySQL provider takes
user/password only from the DNS string. In my old config file I
used <entry name="Username" ...> and <entry name="Password" ...>
so moving them into <entry name="DSN" ...> solved this issue.
As a collateral effect, the auth_string parameter in
gda_connection_open_from_dsn is not honored (tested). I don't
know if this is expected, but there's some inconsistency between
documentation and implementation.
I'll check that ASAP, thanks!
Could you please fill a bug report next time so it's easier to track?
Thanks,
Vivien
