Interesting. I think I am getting closer, but not quite there yet.

The connection file now reads
SQLConnection[JDBC["mysql", "localhost:3306/dbsterntest"],
 "Name" -> "MySQL test2", "Description" ->
  "test connection to dbsterntest MySQL database", "Username" -> "root",
 "Password" -> "$Prompt", "RelativePath" -> False, "Version" -> 1.]

The location is $UserBaseDirectory/DatabaseResources, as it was before.


Two problems:

1. OpenSQLConnection creates a continuous stream of errors.

Syntax::"stresc : "Unknown string escape \P. More...
Syntax::"stresc : "Unknown string escape \M. More...
Syntax::"stresc : "Unknown string escape \M. More...
Syntax::"stresc : "Unknown string escape \d. More...

2. JDBC::error: JDBC error: Communication failure during handshake. Is there a \
server running on localhost:3306?

There is a server running on localhost:3306; I have no trouble
connecting to it from dedicated MySQL client software.

More help?

Thank you in advance.
