    Yes. You would use say, fopen, fscanf (or fread, if it was written with fwrite rather than text), and fclose to read the content of the text file, then the MySQL C API to store the value to the database.

If they do, I ask them to find the smallest example that exhibits the problem and send me that. Mostly, they then find the error themselves. "Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    "...I'm beginner in programming..."

    You need a thorough understanding of the C Programming language BEFORE you attempt to add any API, or Application Programming Interface to a project, especially the MYSQL API..

    Take a course in C, with a qualified instructor, or study a good book on C. There is a link here to some C book recommendations, but the list is a little out of date, and needs to be updated.
