PROGRESS NOTES:
DESCRIPTION:
Create a new MariaDB/MySQL/Drizzle client library that is Apache, BSD or LGPL.
This task is to correct the limitations of the old lgpl client library, MWL#134,
as outlined in http://kb.askmonty.org/v/lgpl-mysql-client-library-32358.
Minimum requirements are:
* Should be binary link level compatible with the current MySQL 5.1 client
library. To use it, one would just have to relink the application with the new
library. No re-compilation of the source should be necessary.
** It should be able to connect to all current versions of MariaDB, MySQL and
Drizzle.
* It should support all the new functionality in MariaDB's client library:
** New functions
** Pluggable authentication
** The license should be one of BSD/LGPL/Apache
The different development options are:
* Use the old LGPL MySQL library from 3.23 as a base.
* Use Drizzles client library as base.
* Use one of the free MySQL client libraries used by some of the languages as a
base.
* Writing a new one from scratch.
