C++ and MySQL

[Nikolai459]

Hello,

I've recently downloaded MySQL Server 4.1 and have already created a table within it. I would like to use a C program to read this database. Does anyone know of a simple C program (or a website that has one) that could read a database and display it? I'm just doing this for a test and want to see exactly how it's done and what it look like. Thanks in advance.

Alright i've got it so it can compile but when I try to make an executable it gives me link errors:

MySQL.exe - 8 error(s), 0 warning(s)


Anybody know how to get rid of these. I've put mysql++.lib and libmysql.lib into my library folder. Still getting these though.
