mysql: bindings to the mysqlclient library

This library is a Haskell binding to the MySQL mysqlclient client library. It is a fairly faithful, low level library that implements most of the MySQL client API.

This library deliberately avoids the question of providing a "good" API. Its purpose is to serve as a base on which higher-level libraries can be build.

Licensing

This library is BSD-licensed under the terms of the MySQL FOSS License Exception.

Since this library links against the GPL-licensed mysqlclient library, a non-open-source application that uses it may be subject to the terms of the GPL.

To do

• Add support for prepared statements. This API is huge and of dubious performance worth, so it's not currently a priority for me. Patches welcome!
