Description:

'euckr' is a character set for Korean language supported by MySQL.
When I set my configuration to 'euckr' and connect to server, an exception occurs during the translation between java-style encoding name 'EUC_KR' and MySQL character set name 'euckr'.

It seems that there is a miswriting 'euc_kr' in the translating table, in where it should be 'euckr'.

How to repeat:
1. Shutdown mysql server

2. Set default character set to 'euckr', by appending a line "default_character_set=euckr" to the [mysqld] section in my.ini

3. Restart the server

4. Connect to the MySQL server using MySQL Connector/J

5. An exception occurs like this:

java.sql.SQLException: Syntax error or access violation message from server: "Unknown character set: 'euc_kr'"

Suggested fix:
I think you can fix this bug by just editing the entry of 'euc_kr' to 'euckr' in CharsetMapping.java.
