Description

port 3306 can never work for us, and it's common that a DATABASE_URL that you've used in another environemnt that was a traditional mysql driver looks something like: mysql://user:pass@aws.connect.psdb.cloud:3306/dbname

We already ignore the mysql:// protocol and rewrite it to https://, so we should similarly drop the 3306 if a connection is overly explicit.

Research direction

The issue points to the existing mysql:// to https:// URL rewriting but names no file or test. Start by locating that connection-string parsing path and its tests. Done means an explicit :3306 is removed while the existing protocol rewrite and other connection-string behavior continue to work.
