MySQL Connector/OpenOffice.org Connection URL
All: please comment!
This suggestion is based on the MySQL Connector/J documentation and the MySQL C-API documentation.
Basic syntax
sdbc:mysqlc:://[host[:port]]/database[?propertyName1]=[propertyValue1][&propertyName2]=[propertyValue2]...
The value of host may be either a hostname or an IP address. If host is NULL or the string "localhost", a connection to the local host is assumed. For Windows, the client connects using a shared-memory connection, if the server has shared-memory connections enabled. Otherwise, TCP/IP is used. For Unix, the client connects using a Unix socket file. For local connections, you can also influence the type of connection to use with the MYSQL_OPT_PROTOCOL or MYSQL_OPT_NAMED_PIPE options to mysql_options(). The type of connection must be supported by the server. For a host value of "." on Windows, the client connects using a named pipe, if the server has named-pipe connections enabled. If named-pipe connections are not enabled, an error occurs.
If the hostname is not specified, it defaults to 127.0.0.1
If the port is not specified, it defaults to 3306, the default port number for MySQL Servers
If the database is not specified, the connection will be made with no default database.
