MySQL docs say:

"In a nonmulti-threaded environment, the call to mysql_library_init()
may be omitted, because mysql_init()  will invoke it automatically as
necessary. However, mysql_library_init() is not thread-safe in a multi-
threaded environment, and thus neither is mysql_init(), which calls
mysql_library_init(). You must either call mysql_library_init()  prior
to spawning any threads, or else use a mutex to protect the call,
whether you invoke mysql_library_init() or indirectly via mysql_init
(). This should be done prior to any other client library call."

So in multi-threaded environment mysql_library_init CANNOT be ommited.

And how about mysql_library_end() ? I could not import it to Ada and
this function performs some memory clean up after disconnection.
