[Squirrel-sql-users] SQL access to MySQL over SSH tunnel

[Tim B. <tim...@ph...>]

Hi all,

Is it possible to ssh tunnel a connection to a MySQL database using
Squirrel?

On a remote machine I can do the following

> ssh -C -L 3307:the.mysql.server.node:3306 user@ the.mysql.server.node
> mysql -h localhost -P 3307 -u user -p database_name

- this connects fine. However, if I set up the ssh tunnel and try a Squirrel
alias with the contact string

jdbc:mysql://localhost:3307/database_name

It tells me 

Unexpected Error occured attempting to open an SQL connection. Any advice
very welcome... I'm using the 1.1final1 Squirrel on Mac OS X 10.3.4...
