We could also use mysql_get_server_version() to try to infer automatically,https://dev.mysql.com/doc/c-api/8.0/en/mysql-get-server-version.html .

Autodetection works beautifully. The mysql argument now has moved to dbConnect(). I also don't think there's a conflict with the RMySQL package because I'm using the constructor functions returned by setClass() .
