I'll try to tidy up a couple of loose ends, if I can. 
I assume that this search identified only the "database" 
package. I have looked at a separate package called "mysql.m"
but as I use only postgres for my work, I cannot comment on 
whether this might work with current versions of mysql, 
and octave. 

I tested an earlier version of "database" and the bug 
reports (including mysql) are here: 
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?38098

Summary: An early version of "database" worked with mysql. 
When mysql (and octave) continued their development, things 
changed, hence work will be needed if there is a demand for 
mysql to work with octave.  
A decision was taken to continue the development of "database" 
(ver 2.0) for postgres only - see the bug reports for the 
reasons why this happened. 

I'm writing this just for information, as I'd guess it 
is not the response the OP was hoping for.
