I am attempting to write a C program to access MySQL. When I run this program, it reports that mysql_init() returned NULL, mysql_errno returned zero, and mysql_error returned "".
Here is the program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <mysql/mysql.h>
int main( void ) { MYSQL *db;
db = mysql_init( NULL ); if (db == NULL);
I suggest you remove the semicolon at the end of the preceding line.
{ fprintf( stderr, "Error: _init() %d '%s'\n", mysql_errno( db ), mysql_error( db ) ); return 1; } mysql_close( db ); return 0; }
Build command: gcc mysql.c -lmysqlclient OS: SuSE Linux 9.0 MySQL components installed: MySQL-devel-4.0.18-0 MySQL-client-4.0.18-0 MySQL-shared-4.0.18-0 MySQL-server-4.0.18-0 MyODBC-3.51.06-1
I have not been able to find any reference to this issue.
I am able to access the server on this system using the "mysql" tool and using OpenOffice. For this reason, I don't figure I am out of memory [the only documented error for mysql_init()].
