Erwin summed this up pretty well, but just to be explicit, your two choices 
are to either add a kfun module to DGD which is linked in with the MySQL 
libraries and provides you an interface via kfuns (think Perl DBI, PHP's 
MySQL module or JDBC) or to use the networking kfuns to talk to the MySQL 
server via sockets.  The latter is probably easier.
