If I recall, the MySQL connect string is prefixed by an optional + or - 
to denote whether or not to connect to the server in transaction - 
enabled mode.  Try putting a '-' in front of your connection string.

Note that this doesn't mean I recommend using a database without 
transaction support -- but you'll be working again.
