Interacting with MySQL from C++

I'm looking for a mysql for windows that lets me send commands and
retrieve their results from C++ code

I think this mechanism can be encapsulated in a DLL which functions can be called
and return the results i need (like a list of structures describing a row from
a table in the database)

Does it exist?

I use MySQL with windows, and I use ADO to do this.

Have a search for some ADO tutorials with C++
