With some help from the guys in #vim on irc.freenode.net, I managed to get this gem:

map <C-d> :call SwitchDB()<CR>
:function SwitchDB()
: let g:current_db = input("Database > ")
:endfunction

map <C-m> :call Doquery()<CR>
:function Doquery()
: if !exists("g:current_db")
: call SwitchDB()
: endif
: let query_string = input(g:current_db . " > " )
: if query_string != ""
: exe "!mysql " . g:current_db . " -e \"" . escape(query_string, '"') . "\""
: endif
:endfunction

Control-m to execute a query. Control-d to switch databases. It’ll prompt you the first time.
