Re: Alternative APIs

Thanks for ideas and links, I think I will need it too!

Since there are some reasons to look at other APIs for MySQL and C++ I
looked at some
alternatives:

Best (stable, maybe bug free) one might be th use the original C API, which
is quite
similiar to the Perl and PHP APIs.

Some other C++/MySQL Projekts I found at "sourceforge"

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysqlcppapi/
mysqlcppapi is a branch of the MySQL++ project. This branch was created in
order to
continue the development of the library.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysqlsow/
The MySQL Simple Object Wrapper (mysqlsow) is a C++ library that provides a
simple wrapper
for the MySQL C API.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/dbconnect/
DBConnect API is an easy to use C++ object API to allow applications to
connect to DBMS.
The API currently implements msql, MySQL, Oracle8, ODBC and PostGreSQL
drivers in the Unix
environments and MySQL, Oracle8 and ODBC in the Windows environment.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysqlwin32api/
This project is intended to create a win32 api library with MySQL
functionality that can
be used with windows development tools to interface with an mysql database
(ie: MS Visual
Basic, MS Visual C++)

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysqlaux/
MySQLaux provides a few easy-to-use classes to facilitate the communication
with a MySQL
database server. The class methods are linked together as a library and
should be used
together with the mysqlclient library of the original MySQL distribution.

MySQL ActiveX Connector
https://sourceforge.net/projects/wmidb/
This program provides MySQL database access through a simplistic COM object
that does not
require ODBC drivers. Provides fast native access through C/C++ provided
libraries with
benefits of COM environment and return variables.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mymanager/
GUI Front-End written in C++ and QT for MySQL Database Servers.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysqldrivercs/
A free simple .NET compliant MySQL driver. Made in C# but it would be used
in all .NET
compatible languages (VB.NET, Managed C++,...)

http://sourceforge.net/projects/otl/
Oracle, ODBC, DB2-CLI Template Library (OTL). Provides C++ stream like
interface to
relational databases (SQL), like Oracle, MS SQL Server, DB2, MySQL,
PostgreSQL, Interbase,
etc. Multi-database, multi-platform, portable, high performance.
