Description:
According to the documentation the default user is assumed, when passing NULL or empty string for user in mysql_real_connect.

On Windows platforms function read_user_name checks for environment variable USER.  If it's not defined default user "ODBC" will be assumed.

How to repeat:
-

Suggested fix:
call Windows-API function GetUserName to get username of current process.
