C++ with MySQL

[Dean Montanaro]

Hi all,
I'm a complete, absolute beginner with MySQL and I would like to be able to use a MySQL database from within a C++ application... I've downloaded 'MySQL Server 5.5' and 'MySQL Connector C++ 1.1.0' and installed them both. I used HeidiSQL to create a few tables and populate them, just to test the installation was ok. Now I tried the following program http://www.suite101.com/content/using-a-mysql-databases-with-c-a70097 on Visual C++ 10.0 Express. I opened an empty project and started adding the code. What other include paths, library paths and settings do I need to add to the projrct to work?

tnks,
Dean

PS: btw sry for posting in the wrong section...
