    ODBC Connection

    Ive got MySQL on my local system and would like to
    use C++ to connect to the database


    I downloaded an example script from mysql.com
    but it throws all sorts of errors when i compile


    Ive done


    #include <mysql.h>


    Is there a quick way i can connect to MySQL


    Ive installed MyODBC so i just need the
    code syntax to make a connection


    Anyone know

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <mysql.h>
    #define host "localhost"
    #define username "db_username"
    #define password "db_password"
    #define database "db"
    MYSQL *conn;


    int main()
    {
    conn = mysql_init(NULL);

    mysql_real_connect(conn,host,username,password,dat abase,0,NULL,0);

    MYSQL_RES *res_set;
    MYSQL_ROW row;
    unsigned int i;


    mysql_query(conn,"SELECT * FROM users WHERE userid=1");

    res_set = mysql_store_result(conn);

    unsigned int numrows = mysql_num_rows(res_set);

    while ((row = mysql_fetch_row(res_set)) != NULL)
    {

    for (i=0; i<mysql_num_fields(res_set); i++)
    {
    ():
    printf("%s\n",row[i] != NULL ? row[i] : "NULL");
    }
    }

    mysql_close(conn);
    return 0;
    }

    also make sure you download and compile the proper library files.
