title: Charset string appended with dbname when using jdbc to connect to Mysql in Matlab
body: <p>I am trying to set the charset when letting Matlab connect to remote mysql database server.</p>
  
  <p>The connection url is like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>jdbc:mysql://host/mtdb?useUnicode=true&amp;characterEncoding=UTF8
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And after executing:</p>
  
  <pre><code>c = database("mydb", 'username', 'password','com.mysql.jdbc.Driver', "connection_string as above");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But Matlab throws an exception:</p>
  
  <pre><code>'Unsupported character encoding 'UTF8mydb'.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I cannot see why character encoding is appended with <code>"mydb"</code>. I don't see any syntax error in the connection url format.</p>
