This is a very simple issue. You have two choices:

1) Obey the GPL and release GPL'd source code, or;
2) Stop linking to the MySQL API or associated libraries.

An unofficial Portuguese translation of the GPL is here: GPL.

can i only give the mysql source code used?? and stay with others things in closed source?

supply the 'su_mysql.h'

No, that's not how it works. Linking things together forms one derivative product.

He is saying that if you use any aspect of any other GPL licensed software you must release your entire source, or else you are violating the license.

So either release the source or remove the MySQL functionality.
