This appendix describes the C language application-programming interface for the MySQL client library. The API consists of a set of functions for communicating with MySQL servers and accessing databases and a set of data types used by those functions. The client library functions can be classified into the following categories:
Unless otherwise indicated, you can assume a function is present in the client library at least as far back as MySQL 3.22.0. This appendix serves as a reference, so it includes only brief code fragments illustrating use of the client library. For complete client programs and instructions for writing them, see Chapter 6, "The MySQL C API." |
