I don't think you actually need to modify CF Administrator, it is just a case of getting the MySQL driver. There is one (Marant) in the Linux distribution of CF, and of course if you are running on Windows, you must get and install the windows drivers from the MySQL web site. Once that is done, you set it up like any other ODBC driver.
Personally, I use MySQL on a Linux Box, and CF installed the driver from the distribution disk. ====================================== Stop spam on your domain, use our gateway!
