Thread: mysql++

I was wondering if I can use MySQL++ with Dev-C++ (Dev-Cpp has a mingw compiler) and if I can, where can I get a mysql++ mingw version?

IIRC theres only support for it in Visual C++, Borland C++, GNU C++, and maybe a few others. I think the only other way would be to get the ODBC connector, and access the database through it, assuming Dev C++ can do this. ODBC is alright for viewing a DB, but it's terrible to try and program through, just not flexible enough. If that doesnt help just go to mysql.com and then click the link that says mysql++ on the right hand side.

But there is a problem: I haven't got enough fast computer to install Visual C++, Borland C++ or something else. The only thing that works is Dev C++ with Mingw compiler.

I don't want to use ODBC 'cause I need fast, reliable and easy-programmable database interface - and I know how to program in PHP that has almost similar function to control the MySQL.

PS: For example that I compile a MySQL++ with Borland C++. Can I use the compiled library in Dev-C++ with Mingw?
