Usage

This process initialises the underlying C API for MySQL. If you have only one MySQL process in your application you need not call this function, as it will be called automatically. However, if you plan on having several MySQL processes running in parallel, this process should be called and allowed to terminate prior to creating any MySQL process, as the underlying C function call is not reentrant. In this case, you should also make sure that the C client API is compiled in thread-safe mode (see the MySQL C API documentation for details on this).

Errors

Upon termination, error will be set to TRUE if any error occured, FALSE otherwise.
