Travis: Initiating build for commit '9f9c5a015c7ed2830baba3ce134aef4d2cba0461' on branch '6296_alternative_fix': The MYSQL_ATTR_FOUND_ROWS attribute only works as a connection option, and cannot be set after mysql connection is established. source: http://stackoverflow.com/a/18684115/3759928 - this should fix the build!
