Nytro Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 Writing MySQL Programs Using CAuthor: Paul DuBoisMany web developers view development of C programs as a bit of a black art. Development of programs in a compiled language such as C is vastly different from the development of applications in a scripting language. To familiarize more developers with the MySQL C API, we present a three-part series of articles tailored to developers looking to get into C program development with MySQL. This first article is the full chapter from Paul DuBois' industry-standard work, MySQL, Fourth Edition, from Addison-Wesley. The second article, from Mark Schoonover, to be published next week, will cover development with the C API using the Eclipse CDT to write a sample program. The third article, also from MarkSchoonover, will go into more depth and expand the example program usingmore advanced features of the API.The chapter covers a lot of ground, covering the following topics: Starting development with the C API for MySQL How to write client programs that communicate with the server over secure connnections using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. How to write applications that use libmysqld, the embedded server library. How to send multiple statements to the server at once and then process the result sets that come back. How to use server-side prepared statements.And, without further ado, please download Chapter 7 of MySQL, Fourth Edition, by Paul DuBois (ISBN 0-672-32938-7). Used by permission.
