I'm not sure what check you want it to make.  It is a valid JDBC
connection string.  Testing here shows that it falls back from a v3 to a
v2 protocol connection when a database name is not provided, but it does
still seem to work.

I'm not sure what you mean.  If you don't provide a database name, how do
you expect it to connect to different databases?
