Method create

void Mysql.mysql()
void Mysql.mysql(string host)
void Mysql.mysql(string host, string database)

Description

Connect to a Mysql database.

To access the Mysql database, you must first connect to it. This is done with this function.

Parameter host

If you give no argument, or give "" as host it will connect with a UNIX-domain socket, which can be a big performance gain.

Parameter options

This optional mapping can contain zero or more of the following parameters:

`"init_command" : string`	Command to execute on connect.
`"timeout" : int`	Timeout in seconds.
`"compress" : int(0..1)`	Enable compressed protocol.
`"mysql_config_file" : string`	Change config file from `"my.cnf"`.
`"mysql_group" : string`	Specify additional group to read from config file.
`"mysql_named_pipe" : int(0..1)`	Use named pipe to connect to server.
`"mysql_local_infile" : int(0..1)`	Enable use of LOCAL INFILE (security).
`"mysql_charset_dir" : string`	Change charset directory.
`"mysql_charset_name" : string`	Change charset name.
`"ssl_key" : string`	Path to SSL-key for use in SSL-communication.
`"ssl_cert" : string`	Path to SSL-cert for use in SSL-communication.
`"ssl_ca" : string`	Path to SSL-CA for use in SSL-communication.
`"ssl_capath" : string`	Path to SSL-CAPATH for use in SSL-communication.
`"ssl_cipher" : string`	FIXME
`"connect_options" : int`	Options used when connecting to the server. See mysql documentation for more information.

Note

Some options may not be implemented. Unimplemented options are silently ignored.

To use SSL-connections, set the SSL-parameters correctly. They corespond to the parameters given to the mysql-client with the same name so make sure that the mysql-client works with SSL and set these parameters to the same values and everything should work. If SSL-options are loaded from a config-file, one may set the connect_options to include CLIENT_SSL.
