Hi Zsombor,
Perhaps there is a problem with connecting to locally run server. Does the "Test Connection" button show success?
If that's not the case, you can Edit the connection settings (Edit Database Connection dialog) and click on second "Details" tab. Then unselect "Default" checkbox for socket file and enter proper local socket file you use for MySQL.

You can find out by executing from command line: "ps a | grep mysql" and locating --socket=... part.
My system (opensuse 11.3) returns --socket=/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock

Kexi tries to find the socket path, but it can fail. 
So far it tries /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock, /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock, /tmp/mysql.sock. Kexi 2.3.1 and newer will also try /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock path.

You can also post your own path, if it's different, so we include it.

Sorry, I don't understand, how this connectivity issue is related to the schema selector. The problem is, that in "MySQLMigrate::drv_connect()" there is a call to " return d->useDatabase(m_migrateData->sourceName);" where the 'sourceName' is empty. And that is empty, because in the connection editor dialog, there is no way to specify the name of the schema - only the machine name/port/username/password, and 'title' can be configured. I don't think it's a problem alone - but in the import wizard it's a blocker.
 I've attached a patch, which solves this issue - adding a separate, schema selector to the wizard, please look into.

Thanks

Sorry, probably I wrongly specified the problem, the problem is in the 'Import tables' functionality, not in the 'Import database' function.

Adam, could you look at this?

The import table functionality isnt implemented for the mysql driver, there is a whole bunch of virtual functions to implement.  I'll try and have a go.  Does the patch actually work to import a table as it doesnt implement any of the functions?

No, this patch only implements the schema selector functionality, so the user can select one table, after a schema is specified

    Implement support for importing a table
    BUG:262658
    Tested by importing several tables from akonadi using a custom socket.
    Both complex and v large tables worked fine.
