Could be.

But I think I am right.

If the ability to have code use MySQL by putting the right
text in a config file would make that code fall under
GPL rule, then all Java code and code in any other language
that reads config info and load a driver based on that
would fell under the GPL rule.

Which would be absurd. And is obviously not true.
