Caution
Please note, official support is not available for the alpha version of MySQL Connector/C++.
MySQL Connector/C++ is a MySQL database connector for C++.
The MySQL Connector/C++ is licensed under the terms of the GPL, like most MySQL Connectors. There are special exceptions to the terms and conditions of the GPL as it is applied to this software, see FLOSS License Exception. If you need a non-GPL license for commercial distribution please contact us.
The MySQL Connector/C++ is compatible with the JDBC 4.0 API. However, Connector/C++ does not implement all of the JDBC 4.0 API. The Connector/C++ preview features the following classes:
ConnectionDatabaseMetaDataDriverPreparedStatementResultSetResultSetMetaDataSavepointStatement
The JDBC 4.0 API defines approximately 450 methods for the above mentioned classes. Connector/C++ implements around 75% of these and makes them available in the preview release.
The alpha release has been successfully compiled and tested on the following platforms:
AIX
5.2 (PPC32, PPC64)
5.3 (PPC32, PPC64)
