Maybe this is a stupid question but I couldn't find suitable sample code or
an answer in the manual.


mysql_fetch_row() returns a MYSQL_ROW representation of a row of data.
According to the manual, this is "an array of counted byte strings".

mysql_fetch_field() returns a MYSQL_FIELD with members 'type' and 'length',
where 'length' is "the width of the field, as specified in the table
definition".

Question: Can I reliably interpret 'length' as the length in bytes of the
corresponding "byte string" in the MYSQL_ROW, and is there a usual way to
extract these data into regular C datatypes?


Thanks,
Travis
