Research direction

Reproduce the steps in the issue: create a connection without a default schema, set a schema as the current database schema, and run Visual Explain on a query using a table there. Start by tracing the Visual Explain entry point and how the selected schema is passed to MySQL; done means the query runs without MySQL error 1046.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
