Hello Patrick!

I am trying to connect COBOL to the MySQL Database. I
have used the C API to establish the conection to
MySQL. You have quoted that library file
mysqlclient.lib is enough.

But when I try to test the Connecton using VC++ editor
by writing a simpe C Program, the linking of
"libmysql.lib" only produce successdul connection.
i.e., mysqlclient.lib not required here.

But When I try to Link those two files into the Linker
for my COBOL application it wouldn't recognize the
methods inside the Libraray file (i.e, mysql_init,
mysql_real_connect, mysql_error...) and shows linker
errors. Is there any other Library files required....

the platform I have used is
    Windows 2k
    CA REALIA II Workbench 3.0.55
    CA REALIA COBOL Compiler 6.0.45
    Microsoft 32 Bit incremental compiler 6.00.8168

can you please suggest me... Is there any other
library files need to be inluded...

regards,
Arun.
