Hello,

In MySQL 5.7 it is possible to enable tracking of certain session
attributes.

These are the global variables which control that:
session_track_gtids
session_track_schema
session_track_state_change
session_track_system_variables

From the MySQL C API these can be used to get access to the data:
mysql_session_track_get_first()
mysql_session_track_get_next()

The main use case I see is to insert a record on a master and then get
the GTID back which then
can be used with WAIT_UNTIL_SQL_THREAD_AFTER_GTIDS() on the replica to
ensure the row did
replicate to the replica.

The other way of doing this would be to @@global.gtid_executed, but that
needs an extra roundtrip.

So it would be nice if DBD::mysql would expose the session tracking data.
