There are two ways to do it: 1.) You can compile in the .lib that comes with MySQL to use the normal API. This will probably give you more portable code. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/windows-client-compiling.html 2.) MySQL has an ODBC connector, so using it from Visual C++ should be more or less like connecting to any other ODBC db. This is probably the preferred Windows way to do it. --Palrich.
