It appears that on my Debian wheezy machine, the call to $server->shell_exec() strips the empty quotes in the command that intentionally tries to fail a MySQL connection. That results in a mysql error, but not the one the function expects, so the migrate rolls back, leaving me stuck.

A simple fix is to actually pass a trivial query rather than an empty one. Attached patch does just that, it attempts to run "SELECT VERSION()" after connecting to the database server.

This looks good, although I would have personnally done "SELECT 1" instead. :)

Patch works for me, thank you (Debian testing/wheezy, PHP 5.4.0-3, MySQL 5.1.61, Apache/2.2.22).
