MySQL

Application programs should use this general outline for interacting with MySQL:

1) Initialize the MySQL library by calling mysql_library_init(). This function exists in both the mysqlclient C client library and the mysqld embedded server library, so it is used whether you build a regular client program by linking with the -libmysqlclient flag, or an embedded server application by linking with the -libmysqld flag.

2) Initialize a connection handler by calling mysql_init() and connect to the server by calling mysql_real_connect().

3) Issue SQL statements and process their results.

4) Close the connection to the MySQL server by calling mysql_close().

5) End use of the MySQL library by calling mysql_library_end().
