A mysql/database password is always a good idea, but isn't required. This is because there are a number of passwordless authentication systems (like PKI, ssh certs, named pipes, etc). Thus, requiring a defined password in order to instantiate the connection is a problem.

Attached is a patch that just removes the requirement for a defined password. This will allow passwordless db connections to be instantiated.
