[Haskell-beginners] Example Connection String to MySQL via ODBC?

Hi. I'm trying to connect for the first time to a 5.1 MySQL database with HDBC via the ODBC driver. Would someone be kind enough to show me an example connect string to pass to connectODBC? I've tried to put together what I can from the "example" at Hackage and old posts I found on the Web, but all I ever get is *** Exception: <> If someone could give me a boilerplate example with the standard elements (host, database, user, password) that would probably help. Thank you. -- frigidcode.com theologia.indicium.us
