Description:
An application that uses MySQL Connector/ODBC displays an error :
Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Error caused by SQLColumns() function with a connection string that doesn't contain a Database=.. value.

How to repeat:
The connection string should not contain "Database=mybase" parameter.
Use SQLColumns(hStmt, "mybase",....
Below is the test program and the table structure:

CREATE TABLE `tbl_test` (
  `test_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `test_string` varchar(45) character set latin1 NOT NULL default '',
  PRIMARY KEY  (`test_id`),
  UNIQUE KEY `Index_unique` (`test_string`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;
