Description:
Hello

Error: connection closed during transaction, giving up after 3 times.

Dear Sir,
 
I am using server version MySql 4.1.0-alpha-log and Connecto/J 3.0.8
I suspect I found a bug in the connector/J - I have 4 databases and
after connecting to 3, the 4th one wouldn't connect... turned
out the driver wasn't accepting more than 4 characters for the db name.
 
     feel free to contact for further details.
 
     Kind regards
     Carlos

How to repeat:
Have a tomcat server start 4 web apps, each of each connecting a different database in a MySQL server 4.1.0-alpha-log.

The forth connection fails, if that 4th particular database name is longer than 4 characters.

Suggested fix:
don't know...
