It seems like there would be a simple answer to this, but I have not found it.  
I
tried exit( Pid, exit ) of the Pid returned by the start function, but that 
doesn't
close it. Whoever knows the answer is not talking.  Some sort of stop() or 
close()
function would be nice.  I tried this with mysql:start() and mysql_conn:start().

I just discovered some interesting things about this.  The mysql_conn.erl file 
makes
mention of start/6 which did not work, but start/8 worked. the LogFun argument 
does
NOT work with an arity of 3, but requires an arity of 4.  The connection can be
closed by sending exit( Pid, Reason ) to the Pid returned by the 
mysql_conn:start/8
function.
the mysql.erl file contains the obsolete guard binary() and list() which can be
updated to is_binary() and is_list().  I thought I tried closing a connection 
opened
with mysql_conn:start() in the past, but apparently I didn't.  I still haven't
learned to use the LogFun, but will keep investigating.  Let me know if you have
anything to offer regarding the LogFun.
