Ok, if you are this far: what prevents you from trying

print server_info, db, username, pwd

and being aware that IF there are " around, they are not part of the 
string representation, but they are really there.

I think if you will have seen the output above, you will probably see 
what is wrong here: too many "s. :-)

HTH & HAND!
