Really? I found no information about this on oracle.com or mysql.com,
except for a section in the discussion forum with ~20 posts. It's true
that the author is apparently a Senior Software Engineer at Oracle, but
this seems like a his own project. So much regarding the "Oracle
thought" part ...
BTW I doubt the approach "Oracle does X => you should do X too" will be
fruitful here.

I'm a bit confused. What do you mean by "team lead"? I was thinking that
maybe this would be a fun project for the holidays, refreshing my
Arduino-fu. But no way I'm interested in being a TL of anything.
I was messing with the PostgreSQL protocol [1] recently, and writing a
code implementing something like what the mysql connector does would be
quite trivial. A day of work, maybe two if you know networking but not
the protocol.
