title: sqlalchemy doesn't recognize my mysql database
body: <p>Im trying to connect with SQLAlchemy to Mysql database on my localhost.
  It throws in an error message saying that the database doesn't exist, which it does. I created it in the Workbench, and used it in other scripts.</p>
  
  <p>My commands in the python shell</p>
  
  <pre><code>from sqlalchemy import create_engine
  engine = create_engine("mysql+mysqlconnector://username:password@127.0.0.1:3306/databaseName")
  conn=engine.connect()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is pretty much according to the documentation [here][1].</p>
  
  <p>The complete error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ProgrammingError: (mysql.connector.errors.ProgrammingError) 1049 (42000): 
  Unknown database 'databaseName'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any idea what it is that goes wrong?
  Any help is appreciated!</p>
