Description Alex Thurgood 2019-07-30 14:42:11 UTC
Description:
Using the DB creation wizard, try to create a connection to a mysql or mariadb database server via the JDBC option in the first dialog.

The URL connection parameter window is preceded by jdbc:

The help indicates that the complete string to enter here is jdbc:mysql://networkaddress:port/dbname?anyotherparameters

However, the documentation is incorrect in the current iteration of that JDBC configuration dialog.

In fact, the user now only has to enter 

mysql://networkaddress:port/dbname?anyotherparameters

The documentation should be corrected in this respect.



Steps to Reproduce:
See above

Actual Results:
The help indicates the incorrect string to enter, and as a result, connection will fail, and the user will be unable to setup a valid ODB file.

Expected Results:
The documentation should reflect the current requirements for string entry


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
