Description:
Couple of string comparisons are made using == operator at src/com/mysql/jdbc/DatabaseMetaData.java lines 4133 and 4243 (will attach a diff for clarity)

Also there was one in StatementImpl.java but seems that one has been refactored out at least here (though not sure is it the official trunk):
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mark-mysql/connectorj/trunk/view/head:/src/com/mysql/jdbc/Sta...

How to repeat:
n/a

Suggested fix:
To use the equals method
