Hello, seems like I am on a quest to revive or to make alive old or abandoned projects :P but I assure you that this is coincidental.
I was looking few years back how to deal with MySQL in vl likewise but I never used it at the end I felt back in a small and handy implementation of Directus and its REST API.
Recently I managed to get back to mysql with MySQLConnector, and bellow you may see the current state.
using Beekeeper Studio to inspect and “debug” trully awesome (kudos to @sebescudie )
just to add some more info and a preview here, there is a Connection (Manager) and then standard SQL methods, like Query, NonQuery and Scalar. Theses are the basic elements (more or less) to build any combination of commands on top.
Plus there is a basic parameter implementation and example to Insert, Select Objects(Items) from a Table.
cheers!
