[Mysqlcppapi-main] Password et al during connect

[Steffen N. <sne...@Te...>]

Hi,

We have been using the mysql++ so far,
but I agree that a cleaner Interface is
something to be cared for before theoptimisation.

Before we migrate, I have a question about t
he philosophy of authentication.

AFAICS I have to hard code the password in my applictaion
or provide means to read it interactively. Is that correct ?

I have a patch for mysql++ that reads the ~/.my.cnf 
and uses defaults from there unless specified otherwise.

Is this something one could introduce into mysqlcppapi as well,
or what other method is planned ?

Yours,
Steffen
