I'm not any MySQL guru. I use MySQL ODBC and the connection string:
"DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver}; SERVER=localhost; DATABASE=test; UID=root; PWD=XXXX;"
If the problem comes from the connection string and/or you're not using ODBC, see http://connectionstrings.com/mysql for proper connection strings.
