sequelize - connection string - problem with password containing an @

[FredericLatour]

It looks like it doesn't work when having a password containing a @ directly in the connection string for sequelize:

• "mysql": "mysql://user:pwd@host:port/database"

I imagine (just a guess) that it has something to do with the @ that is used to separate the password and the host. It certainly mess up the parsing to have another @.

SQL connection strings with special characters have to be URL encoded:

encodeURIComponent('my@password') // -> 'my%40password'

Not a show stopper but not very intuitive especially in those days when we are force to include weird chars into passwords.
Is it possible to provide a config object instead of the connection string?

{
user: '',
pwd:'',
host: '',
etc ...
}

You can always change the connection as shown in the Sequelize documentation in the connection file set up by the generator.

I suppose I'd better not hacking this file and stick with your solution. It's not like I will have a password to encode every day, after all.
Thanks for the help (will close the issue).
