MySQL and C/C++

Hi,

Can anyone point me in the direction of some information explaining how to open and close a connection to a MySQL database and submit queries from within C/C++? I know it can be done using system calls, but this is pretty clunky; I'm looking for a better solution (perhaps linking to a shared library that is part of the standard MySQL build, or something like that).

*** Please note that I am not looking for a .NET solution! I have found that, but I don't use .NET, I'm using Red Hat Linux 9.0.

Any info gratefully received.

Thanks,
Mike.

Hey, I found it!

In case anyone else is interested!

If you want a more OOP based interface, I'd recommend: http://tangentsoft.net/mysql++/

That's great, thanks! :thumbsup:
