If you know well the MySQL API, it won't be more than some hours hacking, since
actually the features provided by the servers are quite basic, you just have to read a
recordset and a couple of things more. So, I don't mind if it's you or Joe or both,
it's really up to both of you, but please, somebody do it, as it seems there are
several people wanting to use MySQL from gnome-db.

And ask me whatever you need to know!
