Hi Mr Jonathan,
      I am really thankful to you for the information. Actually I needed a c
api to work with. The problem I got is after installing mysql in my linux
box here, the include files and lib is missing. So if I can get c include
files and library files seperately I could get a solution. Any way I am
thank ful you devoted some time for my problem, I am searching for a
installation package in mysql.com which can solve the problem.

Tapas

This list is for mysqlcppapi, not the C API.
If you want to use a C++ API, I suggest you look at mysql++ instead,
it's a better library now.

If you want to use the C API, you'll need to install the development
package that includes the headers and libs. How to do that depends on
your operating system and is off-topic for this mailing list.
