no, it should look like this:
local presets = {
database = "test",
username = "root",
password = "none",
host = "localhost",
port = 3306,
}
You should use lowercase keys. Spaces in keys are impossible anyway
unless you use ["foo bar"] = "xxx". It's Lua, so some basic
understanding of Lua helps.
I'm unaware of windows auth, but username/pwd should work okay.

The interface in context is an abstraction layer that can use several
methods.
- the command line mysql program (client)
- the luasql library (not the best piece of code)
- the swiglib lua binding
and starting with the client method is easiest as one can also mimmick
that on the command line.
