1.4.9.1 MySQL

The MySQL implementation doesn't really have any complicaitons. It works extremely well and is the most tested implementation of the web.database specification.

One point to note is that is doesn't use a ColTypes table in the same way the other implementations do because the cursor.description contains all the information needed by the web.database module so there is no need to store it in an extra table. The other implementaions do not give adequate information in the cursor.description.

The MySQL implemenation is the only one to support the alter() method.
