http://dev.mysql.com/doc/ndbapi/en/ now says,
"Document generated on: 2009-10-25 (revision: 17311)
"This guide provides information for developers wishing to use: The
low-level C++-language NDB API for the MySQL NDBCLUSTER storage engine;
the C-language MGM API for communicating with and controlling MySQL
Cluster management servers; and other APIs used with MySQL in the
context of MySQL Cluster. ..."

All MySQL documentation, including that relating to MySQL Cluster, uses
a continuous-release model. The "generated on:" date should never be
more than a day or so behind the current date. So when I say, "I've
updated the documentation", you can generally take that to mean that the
updates will appear online within 24 hours. Of course, sometimes we have
a broken build or some other 'mechanical' issue, but barring such
accidents, this is usually the case. You certainly don't have to wait
for the next major release or anything like that.)
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/ndbapi/en/overview-ndb-api.html says (and has
always said as best I can recall),
"The NDB API is an object-oriented application programming interface for
MySQL Cluster that implements indexes, scans, transactions, and event
handling. ..."
I don't really think it's necessary to state on every page that NDBAPI
uses C++, as it seems to me that the fact that the NDBAPI is presented
consistently in terms of classes/objects/'object-oriented' throughout
the documentation means "C++, not C", but if anyone thinks there are
instances where confusion might reasonably arise, please feel free to
point them out to me, and I'll modify them accordingly.
Thanks!
