Hi guys im having trouble with setting up mysql in devc++ i already have mysql installed cuz ive used it with php but i cant seem to get it to run in c+++ here's my code

#include <my_global.h>
#include <mysql.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  printf("MySQL client version: %s\n", mysql_get_client_info());
}

and all i get is a bunchof errors. does anyone know of a good mysql tutorial using c++?

I've recently started using MySQL. There is more than one C++ binding and as far as I can tell, none are worth learning.

I suggest you use the C binding. There's only one. It's standard. It makes sense. None of these apply to abny of the C++ bindings I've seen.

MySQL really is a poor cousin.

I suggest you use the C binding.

ok thank you very much but are there any tutorials that teach you how to us this"c binding" and what is a c binding

There are many tutorials on how to use MySQL from C.

The C binding is what I call the C interface to MySQL. Once you understand it, you could probably even write your own wrapper. Heavens knows it can't be any worse than the one out there.
