Hello Tom,
Here is a version 6.

ERROR_CODE -> SQLSTATE.

Removed, but I think it was nice to have, it is easier to interpret than
error codes and their classes that I have not memorized yet:-)

Added LAST_ERROR_SQLSTATE & MESSAGE, only reset when an error occured.

My guess is negligible. Not sure how to measure this negligible, as many
very fast query should be executed to have something significant. Maybe
100,000 "SELECT 1;" in a script?

Variable setting moved at then end of ProcessResult, no new functions,
result is clean, so I should have done it like that in the beginning.
Forgotten help stuff added.
