Research direction

The issue mentions FeedLand and the mysql2 package for Node, but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating FeedLand's existing MySQL dependency and its database access code, then compare compatibility and performance before deciding whether a migration is justified. Done would be a documented decision with any required migration scope identified.

Description

I've been encouraged to switch to the mysql2 package for Node, in FeedLand, that it would improve performance and compatibility.

It is advertised as being almost totally compatible with the original package, so I'm thinking if we should make the switch.

If anyone has any experience with this transition, I'm interested in knowing if there were problems, and is the new package much better than the old one?
