Description
Unlike the PostgreSQL interface (which works fine), the MySQL interface does not seem to support a services file as there is no call to mysql_options(conn, MYSQL_READ_DEFAULT_GROUP, servicename); anywhere in the current ls_mysql.c code.
If I have MYSQL_HOME set in the environment and issue a connect with "service=foobar" when I invoke luasql, the connection information in the my.cnf file located in MYSQL_HOME for connection foobar should be parsed and used.
That is the only thing I should have to specify on the connection string and all the other required options will be pulled from the file under the foobar connection settings.
If I try this with the current code, it doesn't work and I receive
"Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)"
If I hack up the connect function and use mysql_options() as described above, it works fine.
