           Summary: Changing to mysql with invalid values is "possible"
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: languitar at semipol.de


Version:           trunk (using KDE 4.4.2)
Installed from:    Archlinux Packages

It should not be possible to change to mysql backend and submit the settings
dialog if the settings don't work. right now it is possible to to submit the
dialog with empty schema names. This results in a cascade of error messages.
This is an obvious error that should be caught directly in the settings gui.

Also I'd suggest to perform a connection test before submitting the settings
and warn if they don't work (with an options to ignore this warning because the
mysql server may be down or whatever reason).

The connection test should not only check that the login is possible. It also
needs to verify that appropriate permissions exist.
