I'm trying to use C++ and SQL in Visual Studio, and trying to load a SQL example to make sure it's working.

This is the example project taken from [url="[url]http://www.nitecon.com/tutorials-articles/develop/cpp/c-mysql-beginner-tutorial/"[/url];]link[/url]

[code]

#include "my_global.h" // Include this file first to avoid problems
#include "mysql.h" // MySQL Include File
#define SERVER "localhost"
#define USER "username"
#define PASSWORD "password"
#define DATABASE "databasename"

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

#include "my_global.h" // Include this file first to avoid problems
#include "mysql.h" // MySQL Include File
#define SERVER "localhost"
#define USER "username"
#define PASSWORD "password"
#define DATABASE "databasename"

int main()
{
MYSQL *connect; // Create a pointer to the MySQL instance
connect=mysql_init(NULL); // Initialise the instance
/* This If is irrelevant and you don't need to show it. I kept it in for Fault Testing.*/
if(!connect) /* If instance didn't initialize say so and exit with fault.*/
{
fprintf(stderr,"MySQL Initialization Failed");
return 1;
}
/* Now we will actually connect to the specific database.*/

connect=mysql_real_connect(connect,SERVER,USER,PASSWORD,DATABASE,0,NULL,0);
/* Following if statements are unneeded too, but it's worth it to show on your
first app, so that if your database is empty or the query didn't return anything it
will at least let you know that the connection to the mysql server was established. */

if(connect){
printf("Connection Succeeded\n");
}
else{
printf("Connection Failed!\n");
}
MYSQL_RES *res_set; /* Create a pointer to recieve the return value.*/
MYSQL_ROW row; /* Assign variable for rows. */
mysql_query(connect,"SELECT * FROM TABLE");
/* Send a query to the database. */
unsigned int i = 0; /* Create a counter for the rows */

res_set = mysql_store_result(connect); /* Receive the result and store it in res_set */

unsigned int numrows = mysql_num_rows(res_set); /* Create the count to print all rows */

/* This while is to print all rows and not just the first row found, */

while ((row = mysql_fetch_row(res_set)) != NULL){
printf("%s\n",row != NULL ?
row : "NULL"); /* Print the row data */
}
mysql_close(connect); /* Close and shutdown */

system("pause");
return 0;
}

[/code]

VC++ Directories->Bin Directory->C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin

Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies->libmysql.lib

And I put libmysql.lib in Program Files(x86)->Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0->VC->lib which is where I believe i'm supposed to put it.
