There is no tight coupling between MySQL and htdig at present. As far
as I know, the only way to do it at present is to dump the MySQL database
and index it.
In 3.2 however, the indexing will be a library that you'll be able to
use on its own (hopefully :-). You will therefore be able to add a hook
for each insert/delete sql order so that indexing is done in real time. I
don't think there will be native support for indexing MySQL database
within htdig in 3.2.
The database layer of htdig, although quite nice, is not tailored for
SQL databases. I think it's not ready for use in this case.
You might be interested by the mysql++ version 1.0 found in the Contrib
directory of www.mysql.com. It is a c++ library that provides a nice
abstract layer to SQL databases.
