Getting Started with MySQL: Using C Language to Operate MySQL

Basic concepts

C APIs are included in the mysqlclient library file, which is released together with the MySQL source code and is used to connect to the database and execute database queries.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>
#include <mysql/mysql.h>
int main()
{
    int     ret = 0;
    MYSQL   mysql;
    MYSQL   *con = NULL;
    con = mysql_init(&mysql);
    if (con == NULL)
    {
        ret = mysql_errno(&mysql);
        printf("func mysql_init() err :%d\n", ret);
        return ret;
    }
    //连接mysql服务器
    //MYSQL *mysql_real_connect(MYSQL *mysql, const char *host, const char *user, const char *passwd, 
    //const char *db, unsigned int port, const char *unix_socket, unsigned long client_flag) ;
    con = mysql_real_connect(&mysql, "localhost", "root", "123456", "mydb2", 0, NULL, 0 );
    if (con == NULL)
    {
        ret = mysql_errno(&mysql);
        printf("func mysql_real_connect() err :%d\n", ret);
        return ret;
    }
    else
    {
        printf("func mysql_real_connect() ok\n");
    }
    mysql_close(&mysql);
    return ret;
}

Programming steps

1 Initialize the MYSQL library by calling mysql_library_init()
2 Initialize the connection handler by calling mysql_init(), and connect to the server by calling mysql_real_connect()
3 Issue SQL statements and process their results
4 Close the connection with the MYSQL server by calling mysql_close()
5 End the use of the MYSQL library by calling mysql_library_end()

Things to note when compiling Question 1:
[mysql01@localhost dm01]$ gcc -o dm11_hello dm11_hello.c -I/usr/include/ -L/usr/lib64/mysql/ -lmysqlclient
/usr/lib64/mysql// libmysqlclient.a(net_serv.cc.o):(.data.DW.ref.__gxx_personality_v0[DW.ref.__gxx_personality_v0]+0x0): undefined reference to __gxx_personality_v0'
/usr/lib64/mysql//libmysqlclient.a (password.c.o): In functionscramble_323':

You need to use the c++ dynamic library, add the -lstdc++ option in the compilation option

Question 2
/usr/lib64/mysql/ /libmysqlclient.a(dso_dlfcn.o): In function dlfcn_globallookup':
dso_dlfcn.c:(.text+0x31): undefined reference todlopen'
dso_dlfcn.c:(.text+0x44): undefined reference to dlsym'
dso_dlfcn.c:(.text+0x4f): undefined reference todlclose'
/usr/lib64/mysql//libmysqlclient.a(dso_dlfcn.o): In function dlfcn_pathbyaddr':
dso_dlfcn. c:(.text+0xa0): undefined reference todladdr'
dso_dlfcn.c:(.text+0x101): undefined reference to dlerror'
/usr/lib64/mysql//libmysqlclient.a(dso_dlfcn.o ): In functiondlfcn_bind_func':
dso_dlfcn.c:(.text+0x464): undefined reference to `dlsym'

For forward and reverse calls of the callback function, you need to use the dl function library, in the compilation options Add -ldl option

Question 3

thread_mutex_trylock'
/usr/lib64/mysql//libmysqlclient.a(my_thr_init.c.o): In function my_thread_global_end':
/ pb2/build/sb_0-12734909-1406113305.48/rpm/BUILD/mysqlcom-pro-5.6.20/mysqlcom-pro-5.6.20/mysys/my_thr_init.c:214: undefined reference topthread_key_delete'
/pb2/build/ sb_0-12734909-1406113305.48/rpm/BUILD/mysqlcom-pro-5.6.20/mysys/my_thr_init.c:217: undefined reference to pthread_mutexattr_destroy'
/pb2/build/sb_0-127349 09 -1406113305.48/rpm/BUILD/mysqlcom-pro-5.6.20/mysqlcom-pro-5.6.20/mysys/my_thr_init.c:220: undefined reference topthread_mutexattr_destroy'

MySQL's dynamic library uses multi-threading. So add the -lpthread option to the compilation options

4. Question 4

[mysql01@localhost dm01]$ gcc -o dm11_hello dm11_hello.c -I/usr/include/ -L/usr/ lib64/mysql/ -lmysqlclient -ldl -lstdc++ -lpthread
/usr/lib64/mysql//libmysqlclient.a(my_getsystime.c.o): In function my_getsystime':
/pb2/build/sb_0-12734909-1406113305.48 /rpm/BUILD/mysqlcom-pro-5.6.20/mysqlcom-pro-5.6.20/mysys/my_getsystime.c:44: undefined reference toclock_gettime'
collect2: ld returns 1
[mysql01@localhost dm01] $

Lack of runtime dynamic library and math library, add -lm and -lrt options

Complete gcc compilation command:

gcc -o hello hello.c -I /usr/include/mysql/ -L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ -lmysqlclient -lm -ldl -lstdc++ -lpthread -lrt

General Makefile preparation

.PHONY:clean all
CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-Wall -g
LFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ -lmysqlclient -ldl -lpthread -lm -lrt -lstdc++
BIN=hello 
all:$(BIN)
%.o:%.c
    $(CC) $(CFLAGS)  -c $<  -o   $@ 
hello:hello.o 
    $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $^  $(LFLAGS) -o  $@ 
clean:
    rm -f *.o $(BIN)
