Description:
Hi

I am developing GUI database manager and I need to connect mysql database by using empty
database parameter. Today I downloaded nightly snapshot and unfortunately it did't work
like earlier versions. The snapshot produces SQLException if I do not specify database in
connection string. This is new bug in Connector/J 3.1-nightly-2004042. I have succesfully
used earlier versions of Connector/J 3.0.10 and 3.1.1-alpha.

How to repeat:
Just try to connect without specifying database parameter in connection string:
            
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/?user=monty&password=greatsqldb");
