Description:
In the Manage DB Connections dialog it is possible to select one of three connection methods. This bug concerns the Parameters tab of the Manage DB Connections dialog if the Local Socket/Pipe connection method is selected.

In the Manage DB Connections dialog it is possible to select the default schema. This is implemented using a simple text field. This textfield is present for connection types Standard TCP/IP and TCP/IP over SSH connection types, but is missing for the Socket/Pipe connection type.

How to repeat:
1. Start Workbench

2. In the Workspace click "Manage Connections"

3. Select a Stored Connection (or create a new one if none exist)

4. Select the Connection Method: Local Socket/Pipe

5. Observe that there is no text field to allow the user to enter the default schema on the Parameters tab.

Suggested fix:
Add a text field "Default Schema" to the Parameters tab for the Local Socket/Pipe connection method. Add appropriate code to read the contents of the text field and set the default schema for Workbench accordingly.

Thank you for the bug report. Mac OS X is also affected.

Added the schema field

missing field has been added. will be included in 5.2.16

An entry has been added to the 5.2.16 changelog:

In the Manage DB Connections dialog it was not possible to select a default schema for the Socket/Pipe connection type, as this facility was not provided by the dialog user interface.
