Ok, then I'll commit this work soon. 

Since I don't think we can use SQL commands to get the data types, 
functions,..., I have used the same technique as with the Postgres provider:
the recordset which is returned does not come from a MYSQL_RES but from
a char * tabular, and is managed in the same way as the MYSQL_RES.

As I have used the same implementation as with postgres, maybe we could
create a providers/common directory to store this small implementation
to avoid having it in the gda-postgres-server and in the gda-mysql-server 
directories.
What do you think?

No problem! It's better if the necessary changes are made :)
