The MySQL binding in GNADE is for MySQL 3 and 4.
I have updated it for MySQL 5. It still needs work, but all that
remains to be done is in source code comments - the source contains
comments referring to MySQL V4 C header files which I have not yet
edited to properly refer to the V5 headers. I should send it back to
the GNADE project, but I can also e-mail it to interested parties or
post it here.
