Description David Vancouvering 2008-12-17 18:41:08 UTC 
I want to be able to connect to MySQL without specifying a DB name in Field Entry mode, so I can explore all schemas,
and I can't ("OK" is disabled and an information dialog says please enter in required field database name).

The workaround is to use the Direct URL entry mode.
Comment 1 Rob Englander 2008-12-17 18:50:52 UTC 
Currently, the only thing stopping you is that we've got the template for MySQL setup to require the database name.  So
modifying the template would do the trick.  Do we want to do this ahead of the New Connection dialog rewrite?
