Dev C++ Mysql.h
I'm a C beginner. What's an easy to use (in terms of both installation and use in code) library for using MySQL in C? Is there one that's a lot more commonly used than others? Note that I'm using MySQL 4.1.22 on GNU/Linux. I think SQLAPI abstracts away which database you're using, which is. I am trying to access a mysql DB by C. I have found the following step to add mysql.h library. I am using Dev-c, Windows Vista, and Appserv. So i cannot find C: Program Files MySQL MySQL Server 5.0 lib opt. In my mysql directory, there are only bin, data, scripts and share. Please help because i cannot find guideline of adding mysql.h.
This section describes the prerequisites that must be satisifed before you work through the remaining tutorial sections, and shows how to set up the framework code that serves as the basis for the tutorial applications.
These tutorials refer to tables and sample data from the world database, which you can download from the “Example Databases” section of the MySQL Documentation page.
Each tutorial application uses a framework consisting of the following code. The examples vary at the line that says /* INSERT TUTORIAL CODE HERE! */ within the try block, which is replaced for each application with the application-specific code.
To try the framework code as a standalone program, use this procedure:

Copy and paste the framework code to a file such as
framework.cpp. Edit the#definestatements to reflect your connection parameters (server, user, password, database). Also, because the file contains those parameters, set its access mode to be readable only to yourself.Compile the framework. For example, on macOS, the command might look like this (enter the command on one line):
Adapt the command as necessary for your system. A similar command is needed for the tutorial applications that follow.
To run the framework, enter the following:
You will see a simple message:
