Bug #89835 for DBD-mysql: connect() doesn’t honor “Username” or “Password” attributes

Tue Oct 29 01:58:46 2013 felipe [...] felipegasper.com - Ticket created

Subject:	connect() doesn’t honor “Username” or “Password” attributes
Date:	Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:58:39 -0500
To:	bug-DBD-mysql [...] rt.cpan.org
From:	Felipe Gasper <felipe [...] felipegasper.com>

DBI docs say: ========= The username and password can also be specified using the attributes Username and Password, in which case they take precedence over the $username and $password parameters. ========= … but this doesn’t work in DBD::mysql (1.630), at all. As best I can tell, nothing even bothers to check the attributes hash for username/password (by any combination of keys).

Thanks for your bug report. Your version 1.630 is REALLY old. Version 2.0900 was the earliest version I could find on CPAN and is dated May 06, 2001. I tested the description you gave on today's version of DBD::mysql and it works; I did add a unit test to make sure it keeps working :D https://github.com/perl5-dbi/DBD-mysql/commit/c83c90c8e513fccceb7067d7b6046989a8e660d6 -- Michiel
