Hi!

without the patch your org source block has to look like:

#+begin_src sql :engine mysql :dbconnection mysqldb1
  SELECT * FROM nodes;
#+end_src

with that patch you can just type

#+begin_src sql :dbconnection mysqldb1
  SELECT * FROM nodes;
#+end_src

because your engine is mapped to sql-product in your sql-connection-alist:

(setq sql-connection-alist
      '((mysqldb1 (sql-product 'mysql)
                (sql-server "10.10.42.1")
                (sql-user "dbadmin")
                (sql-password "foo")
                (sql-database "testdb"))))
