Hello Daniele,

The connection-string parameters have been introduced for testing/debugging purpose. You can read this here:
https://4js.com/online_documentation/fjs-fgl-manual-html/User/Connections.html#DS_ODI_CPCSTR

Here some advices:

1) Consider using CONNECT TO with USER / USING clause instead of DATABASE.

2) Do no hard-code clear passwords in your source code, of course.

3) Use a simple database name in your programs, and define the real database source in dbi.database.simple_name.source FGLPROFILE entry.
In your case, you should define the MySQL database name (mytest), plus the host and the port (if different from the default):

   dbi.database.mydb.source = "mytest@192.168.0.1:port"

You can then easily change the real db name or host in FGLPROFILE, without re-compiling your programs.

4) Configure the database driver in FGLPROFILE instead of hard-coding in the source.

   dbi.database.mydb.driver = "dbmmys50x"

5) Put DB username/password in variables, typically asked in a login dialog.

   CONNECT TO mydb USER v_username USING v_password

6) It's good practice to centralize the database connection in a custom function, and call this function in all programs, so if you want to change the connection method it's easy.

7) Consider reading carefully the documentation:
https://4js.com/online_documentation/fjs-fgl-manual-html/User/Connections.html

8) If you still want to use connection string parameters (for testing/debugging), try to add the host / IP address:

   DATABASE "mytest@192.168.0.1+driver='dbmmys50x',username='root',password='sysadm'"
