First, RTFM: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/libmysqld.html
I pointed you to the v5.1 version of this page because libmysqld got
removed from v5.0, then put back in v5.1. I don't know why.
MySQL++ *may* work transparently with libmysqld. I haven't tried it,
but it looks like you need only two minor modifications relative to the
normal use of MySQL++, with a remote server:
1. You do still need a Connection object, but you don't make it try to
connect to a remote server. Just use the default ctor, which will call
mysql_init() for you. This in turn calls mysql_library_init(), as
required by libmysqld. Beyond this point, you do still need the
Connection object; the object has to live as long as you need access to
the database. Think of it as a database handle in this context.
2. Before your program dies, you need to call mysql_library_end(). I
suspect if you don't, any lingering DB writes won't get committed safely
to disk. MySQL++ doesn't provide a wrapper for mysql_library_end(), but
you can call it directly.
That addresses two of the four functions mentioned on that MySQL manual
page I pointed you to. MySQL++ provides wrappers for the other two:
Connection::thread_start() and Connection::thread_end(). These are
static methods, not object methods.
