    To create a DSN-less connection, I pulled this syntax from http://www.connectionstrings.com/

    ODBC:

    SQLCA.DBMS = "ODBC"
SQLCA.DBParm = "Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver};Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;User=myUsername;Password=myPassword;Option=3;"

    Note that you might have to tweak the version number (5.1) to match the version you download.
