Connect to server and get info from mysql db.

Hey,

I want to make a c++ application that retrieves information from a mysql db on another server. How can I make the client connect to the database? Is it possible for me to include a file thats on the server with the db login information? How should I do this? Also, once connected, how can I display data in the c++ application - how do I do the queries?

Thanks in advance,

Sam

Go to the MySQL site and download thier C API.

Or do a search on a C++ class library called MySQL++

Thanks for the quick reply Fordy, I'll do that :)
