When you add the connection object, it should be pretty clear how to do
this...

If your MySQL server is on the same box as your Zope server, you can do
this:

db username password

If your GRANT tables are slack, you don't need username or password. 

If it's on a remote server:

db@remote username password

Remote server but weird TCP port:

db@remote:port username password

Local server but weird UNIX socket

db username password usocket
