Not every line of code, but all mysql-related ones.
I had to convert some application data to other types for using with c-api, but it really works instead of connector.
Also, I've tries to use static library, but is does not work even in Debug configuration (I've walked thru the forum for solution, but nothing helped me to force it work).

include and lib folders were added to VC++ Directories in VS2008 settings, so still there is no different directories settings for each configuration, they must be the same for Debug and Release configurations.

Since there is no plans to add new mysql-related functionality to this project, I'll leave current implementation. If I'll have some free time, I'll try to create new configuration from Debug one and change compiler settings step-by-step to receive Release configuration (optimizations, range checks, etc)...
BTW, I will not wonder if this newly made configuration will work normally when it will be equal to Release one. :)
