>From the Gnome DB documentation under Architectural Overview,
MySQL Server:

DSN: this is a ';'-separated list of options to be passed to the
MySQL backend. This includes: 
  HOST: name of the host on which the backend is running 
  DATABASE: name of the database to be accessed 
  PORT: number of the port to be used to connect to the backend 
  UNIX_SOCKET: path to the UNIX socket (check MySQL docs) 
  FLAGS: connection flags 

  In any case, you would need to check your MySQL installation 
  and documentation for entering valid values for each of these
  parameters. 

So a valid DSN string would for example be:
HOST:localhost;DATABASE=test

Note that there is also a gnome-db-list for asking gnome-db related
questions.
