database@myhost:8080 is not understood by the system.  Just use the "dsn"
name - that is the name you gave it when you set up the ODBC data source.
Usually, you don't need to fill out the connection string at all, just
selecting the ODBC data source on the "Add Z ODBC Database Connection" page
will work fine.  If it doesn't work, then fill out the connection string,
but don't use "@myhost:8080".
