interface between the Perl programming language and the MySQL programming API

provided by this programming API are supported. Some rarely used functions are
missing, mainly because noone ever requested them. However supported
features include: compression of data between server and client; timeouts;
SSL; prepared statement support; server administration such as creating
and dropping databases and restarting the server; auto-reconnection;
utf8; bind type guessing; bind comment placeholders; automated insert ids;
transactions; multiple result sets and multithreading.");
