mysqlcppapi is a C++ wrapper for the MySQL C API library. It is a branch of the MySql++ project, but it has diverged significantly for the following reasons: * MySQL++ is aggressively optimised for speed, but optimisation should happen after the design is mature, and that optimisation should be targeted. Premature optimisation obscures the design and prevents it from improving. * MySQL++ provides too many ways to do things instead of deciding on an interface. Again, this obscures the design. * MySQL++ uses preprocessor macros to an extent that is unacceptable in a C++ library. WWW: http://mysqlcppapi.sourceforge.net
