I need to be able to connect to mysql through a perl or C++ script without knowing the name of the database to connect to. I can't seem to find a way to do this. Is it possible to either: look up database names so I can pick one before connecting or connect without a database name so I can "show databases;" and pick one then? The reason for this is, this script will be creating the database we need new each time with a different name depending on how the user wants it so it's possible that there are no databases set up at all or a differnt named one each time. My book only shows me how to do it if I know the name.
Thanks!!
