 Cannot connect QGIS to a MySQL database. Steps to reproduce: Select "add
 vector layer". Select "database" under source type. Select MySQL as
 database type. Enter name, host, database, port, username, password under
 the "Create a new OGR Database Dialogue". Select "test connect". Message
 comes up "Connection failed ... Access denied for user '(my
 name)'@'localhost' (using password: no.) "Using password: no" is obviously
 an error. I connect to the database in question routinely using other
 database clients. The GUI appears not to be properly sending the password
 to the database server.
 A workaround is to connect to the database through GRASS.
