Open Connection with Login Credentials in Config File

[mikevictor]

I'd like to establish a database connection using only the login information in a .my.cnf file. This does not work:

MySQL.connect("", "", "", opts = Dict([(MySQL.API.MYSQL_READ_DEFAULT_FILE, "/home/foo/.my.cnf")]))

Is there another way?

In #139, you will be able to do conn = DBInterface.connect(MySQL.Connection, "", "", ""; option_file="my.ini"), where my_ini is your options file. It's now in the test suite :)
