[Gdal-dev] open files from mysql

[Emanuele Conti]

Hi and thanks for your fast reply,

I'm concerned that this is a rather specialized driver, and that folks might

 Can you give me an example? I can't imagine (I'm not so expert in gis maps)
how a raster map could be stored in a mysql db other than the one of storing
the whole file in a blob...

I would be happy to have the driver put in "spike" (an experimental area) in

How should I do that? And how could this first "idea" of driver be improved?
I could work on it if only I'd have some feedback about the direction it
should go and if I'm pretty sure that it won't be wasted time!
