The Kunena team has announce the arrival of Kunena 7.0.4 [K 7.0.4] in stable which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for J! 5.4.x/6.0.x. This version addresses most of the issues that were discovered in K 6.2 / K 6.3 / K 6.4 and issues discovered during the last development stages of K 7.0

Database problem with mysql instead of mysqli
Ok. I can now confirm that it is the JoomSEF plugin.
Here are my findings:
1. Using mysqli
The Kunena JoomSEF extension can be activated and works fine replacing the URLs as expected.
2. Using mysql
The Kunena JoomSEF extension has to be disabled or switched to JoomSEF basic rewriting. As a result the web page does not use user friendly URLs for the Kunena forum.
I will wait for the final release before I post something on the JoomSEF forum. Hopefully, they already have an extension update in the works.
Looking at the test results above I do wonder though why it would work without problems using mysqli. I mean I am not a Joomla developer, but from a logical point of view this doesn't make much sense. Maybe someone could have a look who is more knowledgeable?
UPDATE:
After some more testing I found that I can't open articles with the Kunena JoomSEF extension being activated using mysqli. However, it works just fine when it is switched to basic rewrite. It also appears that this keeps the nicer URLs. These results are puzzling!
I also got my 'No valid database' error. Does it impose any threat to my site cause my table name can be viewed publically.
I encountered the problem after installing JoomFish.. Now I have to uninstall JoomFish until the release of next Kunena. After uninstallation, there's no more error.

joomfish plugin for kunena will not work for k1.6 without modification as database schema has changed
