Porting Informix 4GL code to MySql c api

[Navin Patel]

Hi,

Does anyone know if there's an Mysql c api equivalent of the Informix 4gl type definitions of tbale name's and column names i.e.

Informix 4gl definition of a table : p_table1 RECORD LIKE table1.*

I want to define a new table 'p_table1' to be exactly like 'table1', and then assign values to individual column's in the new table.


Informix 4gl definition of a column: p_customer LIKE customer_table.customer

i.e I want to define a variable 'p_customer' to be same as column customer in the database table customer_table.

Is there anything similar in Mysql c api?

Thanks

Navin.
