Implement Red::Driver::MySQL #4

Open FCO opened 4 years ago

Question: what makes Red::Driver modules so special that they need a special implementation?

I was thinking of creating Red::Driver::MySQL module and after it’s done, move Red::Driver::Pg and Red::Driver::SQLite to theirs own distribution, and make it possible to the user choose what he/she want to install
