Introduction

MyMySQL++ is a basic C++ API for the MySQL Database Server (http://www.mysql.com/). It is easy to use and extends your application with MySQL support within minutes.

MyMySQL++ consists of five classes:

CMyMySQLPPConnection

The connection object represents the connection to a mysql server and is used to perform queries.

CMyMySQLPPResult

The result object contains one result set and can be used to enumerate through the rows and determine the structure of the result set.

CMyMySQLPPRow

Represents a single row in a record set

CMyMySQLPPField

The field object reflects the structure of a field.

CMyMySQLPPTypeConv

Implementation of a type converter that automatically converts mysql type safe row data to the required type.

How to use

The following describes how to use MyMySQL++ with Visual Studio 6.0 or .NET. It has been successfully tested with these compilers:

1) To use MyMySQL++ in your application, copy the MyMySQL++ files (MyMySQLPP.h, MyMySQLPPConnection.h, MyMySQLPPConnection.cpp, MyMySQLPPField.h, MyMySQLPPField.cpp, MyMySQLPPResult.h, MyMySQLPPResult.cpp, MyMySQLPPRow.h, MyMySQLPPRow.cpp, MyMySQLPPTypeConv.h, MyMySQLPPTypeConv.cpp) to your application directory.
2) Copy directories "include" and "lib" to your application directory. These directories contain the required mysql client includes and library files.
3) Make a file named 'pch.h'. This file must include the mysql client include file "mysql.h".
4) Add MyMySQL++ files to your project.
5) Add the MySQL Client Library 'libmySQL.lib' (from "lib" directory) to your project.
6) Include 'pch.h', then 'MyMySQLPP.h' in your project.
7) Compile.

Examples

The MyMySQL++ package contains a sample application that shows the use of MyMySQL++. It reads queries froms stdin, sends them to server and outputs the result set to stdout.
