MySQL++ is a MySQL API for C++. Warren Young
has taken over this project. More information can be found at
http://www.mysql.com/products/mysql++/.
You can compile the MySQL Windows source with Borland C++ 5.02. (The Windows source includes only projects for Microsoft VC++, for Borland C++ you have to do the project files yourself.)
One known problem with Borland C++ is that it uses a different
structure alignment than VC++. This means that you run into
problems if you try to use the default
libmysql.dll libraries (that were compiled
using VC++) with Borland C++. To avoid this problem, only call
mysql_init() with NULL as
an argument, not a pre-allocated MYSQL
structure.
