Hello java-list,

I searched the documentation first but could not find any obvious information.

I have two machines, one live on the internet and one not.

The configurations for OS/java/mysql/jdbc driver version etc. of the machines are the same (The hardware is slightly different).

On my intranet machine I must use a connection url of ...

jdbc:mysql://localhost/test?user=deepak=deepak123

which works fine but this same setup does not work on the internet machine I get a permissions problem with mysql not recognising the password.

On the internet machine I must use following URL

jdbc:mysql://localhost/test?user=deepak&password=deepak123

This is not a problem now that I have worked out what is going on but I am curious why one should work one way and not the other.

Thoughts?
