The MySQL driver has been implemented using the native MySQL C API. Currently, it has support for the following functionality: (a) connecting to a database using the non-DSN db_connect, (b) direct querying of the database, and (c) disconnecting from the database. Support for prepared statements will be available from MySQL 4.1 version at which point the driver can be updated with such a feature.
The MySQL driver has been tested under Linux and Windows.
