<h2>API functions</h2>

The <a href="mysql.html">mysql</a> module contains all the API
functions for connecting to and interacting with a MySQL server.
The <a href="mysql_connection.html">mysql_connection</a> module is the
`gen_server' callback module holding a connection so you may want to refer to
that sometimes (e.g. in the Modules part in a childspec for a supervisor). The
other modules are for the internals.
