DrLeprechaun,

You could take tbaMUD and write a MySQL connector piece for it, moving some or all of its data sets (zones, player saves, etc.) over into a modern casing. I think the MUD community will greatly benefit from something like that.

If you stick to the MySQL API functions, you don't need to know a lot of C, but you'd be able to leverage your query knowledge.

The C API for MySQL () is pretty straightforward. I'm currently using it for my own db connector. Unfortunately, my codebase is pretty antiquated and also significantly customized, so my connector is specific to it and won't do others much good.
