MySQL ! Connect to it?

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/MySQL ! Connect to it?

These days I am learning PHP and MySQL because I need it in my Job. I found it's pretty easy, although I don't know exactly what PHP is doing with those MySQL Querys behind the Stage.

As soon as I find some Time I will make some tests, because I would really like to access the MySQL Database directly by Blitz too.

In PHP it goes like this:

-Connecting to database using Password, User etc.
-Sending a special MySQL Query String, eg. a Request to access the content of an entry.
-Receive it as a string, tables delimited by whatever.

It all looks simple as a HTTP Request using some Parameters like a Password etc. So I will try to simply send those Queries as plain text to the mentioned TCP Port and then try to receive some answers. (Yes, there are several MySQL-Versions, including packed and unpacked Transfer etc.)

Maybe I am wrong and it is real complicated, I'll let you know.
