As I was telling Louis, I stopped using the "native" driver when the handshake and authentication protocol changed after version 5é7.x.  The was a way, between version 4.1 and 5.7 to trick MySQL by setting the password using OLD_PASSWORD but it was deprecated with 5.7.  Besides, a few datatype constants and flags changed in the protocol with 5.x.
So the easiest to go was to connect through ODBC.

Hmm. 
Colin started this MySQL driver business. But there’s nothing publicly available from him anymore. Whatever tantalus was it’s not at his repo now.

Try these.

There’s also this long page of chunk format for a driver. Revolting though this page is, it does have the jdm initials which correspond with the Squeak Wiki page about a MySQL driver I gave you previously. It’s probably the accompanying driver for that wiki page.
