Thread: getch() doesn't wait for input

I am working on Dev-C++. But the output window closes as soon as the program gets executed. I read through their forums and I tried using getch() but it isn't of any use.

conn.c

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQLServer5.1/include/mysql.h"

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{

  MYSQL *conn;
  conn = mysql_init(NULL);

  if (conn == NULL) {
      printf("Error %u: %s\n", mysql_errno(conn), mysql_error(conn));
      exit(1);
  }

  if (mysql_real_connect (
            conn,           /* pointer to connection handler */
            "localhost",    /* host to connect to */
            "root",          /* user name */
            " ",              /* password */
            "test_db",     /* database to use */
            0,               /* port (default 3306) */
            NULL,           /* socket or /var/lib/mysql.sock */
            0 ) == NULL) {
      printf("Error %u: %s\n", mysql_errno(conn), mysql_error(conn));
      exit(1);
  }

  if (mysql_query(conn, "create database test_db")) {
      printf("Error %u: %s\n", mysql_errno(conn), mysql_error(conn));
      exit(1);
  }


  mysql_close(conn);
  printf("Database successfully created.");
  getchar();
  return (0);

}

any thoughts on why this happens?
