Static blocks don't execute until the class is loaded, so just
specifying a class in classpath is not enough.
In Java the idiomatic way to let the driver initialize itself, is to
add the following line somewhere in your initialization code before
requesting connection:
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
This loads the class, and its static block registers the driver. You'd
have to do an equivalent in clojure too.
