Configuring MySQL ODBC connection

Along with obvious things like username and password, the form demands a Data Source Name. The documentation isn't explicit, and I spent a while worrying what this should be.

In fact it can be anything you like: it is just a make-it-up "name for this data source" rather than a work-out-what-it-should-be "Data Source Name"
