What is “MySQL Native C API”? What are typical benefits and use cases? |
|
libmysql is a C-based API that you can use in C applications to connect with the MySQL database server. It is also itself used as the foundation for drivers for standard database APIs like ODBC, Perl's DBI, and Python's DB API. |

Which version of libmysql should I use? |

For MySQL 8.0, 5.7, 5.6, and 5.5, we recommend libmysql 8.0. |

What if I want to use the “NoSQL” X DevAPI? |

For C-language and X DevApi Document Store for MySQL 8.0, we recommend MySQL Connector/C++. Connector/C++ 8.0 has compatible C headers. (This is not applicable to MySQL 5.7 or before.) |
