I downloaded "Binary for solaris2.5.1 on sparc (sun)" distribution. I would like to use mysql to create a publications database. I would like to write C programs in order to access mysql, So I read the following part in the online manual. 18 MySQL client tools and APIs 18.1 MySQL C API The C API code is distributed with MySQL. It is included in the mysqlclient library and allows C programs to access a database. Many of the clients in the MySQL source distribution are written in C. If you are looking for examples that demonstrate how to use the C API, take a look at these clients. After installing mysql, I could not find mysqlclient library, and I could not find anything related to C API at all. There is a directory lib, but it doesn't have what I need. *** Can you send the procedure of writing, conpiling, and linking C programs to mysql "as soon as possible, please *** One more question, I would like to query my database through the web. How can I be connected from a web page with mysql e.g. I can write the following statement in html file database.connect ("ORACLE", "databaseservername", "mypassword", "databasename") How can I do this using mysql? Please, send the answers to siham@stripped , as soon as possible. Thanks for your cooperation. Siham
