It looks as if it is not a big deal to use the MySQL protocol rather

follow, and I am working on the changeover. The current MySQL protocol
has been around since version 4.1.
Unfortunately I am now reasonably sure that such documentation as there
is about the protocol tells lies. So getting it right is going to be like
trench warfare. I was hoping to do it without resorting to dissection of
the MySQL source code, but the latter may be required.
I guess you're right about that requirement. I also did read some
Postgres source code to see how data types are encoded. Don't give up! :-)
