Phil,
This is successfully connecting to MySql now. I have confirmed that it 
has saved the data.

Additionally, I was puzzled before by the PostgreSQL connection being 
always by the user postgres. This seems to have been because I have a 
.pgpass file that allowed this to happen. I suspect the PostgreSQL 
connection would have failed too without the .pgpass file. Now, it 
initially connects as user postgres (not sure why) and later uses the 
user which owns the db, and is specified in the connection.
