It would be great to have this one available: https://github.com/mysql/mysql-connector-cpp

It's a C++ wrapper around the MySQL connectors.

Any os/compiler? Have you any experience about supported os's or compilers?

Thanks

[mintyc]

better to use the equivalent compatible one in mariadb as the license is more flexible

[icehockeystar]

it's official c++ connector from mysql. I would prefer to use it than some alternatives.

[lasote]

@icehockeystar What OS's would you use?

[icehockeystar]

@lasote Ubuntu Linux 16.04 4.4.0-45-generic #66-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 19 14:12:37 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Hi! I've uploaded some packages for Linux/gcc:
https://www.conan.io/source/mysql-connector-cpp/2.0.3/lasote/testing

For gcc versions > 5 is necessary to use the setting -s compiler.libcxx="libstdc++11", it doesn't link with libstc++ (don't know why yet).

You can see an example of use here: https://github.com/lasote/conan-mysql-connector-cpp/tree/testing/2.0.3/test_package

Any doubt or feedback is welcome! If you need any other configuration or OS support just write.

Note: Use --build missing option in conan install command, there is no precompiled binaries available for Boost library and libstdc++11.

I should have said the reason for suggesting mariadb's connector instead was licensing.
Mysql's is GPL so 'infects' your code, whereas mariadbs is lgpl. IANAL

hi again @lasote
thank you for your work. I just tested the dependency and I was able to build it into my code and it run.
Unfortunately, the 2.0.3 version of the connector is purposed only for Mysql Servers as of version 5.7 with some X plugin. I use the Mysql 5.6.x and I think there would be appropriate to use the version 1.1.x of the connector which is available in the branch https://github.com/mysql/mysql-connector-cpp/tree/1.1 Could you please build an artifact for the version too?

I would like to bring the request for MariaDB connector (https://github.com/MariaDB/mariadb-connector-c) back to life after two years. I strongly agree with @mintyc that having a LGPL connector is more suitable for many applications since it does not force you to license your code under GPL (as long as you link it dynamically). Any efforts so far?

[Croydon]

At Bincrafters we have https://github.com/bincrafters/conan-mysql-connector-c right now.

@jboalml MariaDB ist not the same so please open a new issue for this.
