When setting up a database connection, the "Script" provides the user the option to "Enter a script to be executed upon establishing a connection". That's exactly what I need while making connections to a specific production server but unfortunately it doesn't seem to do anything. My connection is to a MySQL database.

To confirm it isn't working, I establish a new connection to the database and then issue a show variables command and inspect the two settings in question. They aren't set as they should be if the two SET command execute. Then after executing the SET commands explicitly, I can verify via show variables that the setting *are* then set appropriately. It doesn't appear the connection script does anything.

Please refer to the screenshots for the details.
