There is nothing special in MySQL. It is a relational DB as any other
interfaced through SQL.
I would suggest using ODBC rather than MySQL client bindings. You never
know if you stay with a specific RDBMS or switch to another. There are
plenty of RDBMS available. ODBC makes it portable (up to the SQL
statements, of course).

I don't know. It is pretty straightforward. You create environment, make a
connection, prepare a statement, bind parameters, execute it, fetch
results. Repeat.
You need to know SQL and its specifics for given DBMS. Ada's part is rather
trivial.
