I have used clean to access a PostgreSQL database, and the same technique 
could be used to access MySQL.  I used Clean's interface to C to transfer 
data, and used Postgres' C libraries to access the database. It did seem 
wasteful in that data got parsed and copied multiple times, but if 
performance is not an issue then you shouldn't need to worry about this.

An alternative approach is to use MySQL's TCP libraries and communicate that 
way. I haven't tried this at all.
