We've had to write our own ->ping method for the MySQL DBD driver. Our
developer tried to track down a maintainer for the DBD::msql/mysql module to
submit a diff, but to no avail.

It was easier to patch the MySQL driver than to start putting driver
conditionals in our own code (our stuff runs on Oracle & MySQL).
