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.
