[MySQL]

[Ray Yous]

Hello,
  What is the mysqlclient file and what does it do for my programs that 
will access mysql?  How do I use it?  I found the file at these two 
paths:

/usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a

/usr/ports/databases/mysql321/work/mysql-3.21.33b/client/libmysqlclient.a 

  Is there a difference in the files?  Which Should I use?  How would I 
link to this file with my program called test.c in another directory?  
Do I have to use this file to access mysql from a C program?

Thank,
Roger
