I’ve started work on a c++ version of the Kontrollbase client script but am not as experienced in c++ as I’d like to be and don’t have the time to learn more c++ at the moment. The idea being that the client script written in perl has a lot of module dependencies and that complicates rolling out the client to large server farms. A compiled C++ script will be a drop-in solution.

So, if someone that is talented with c++ on Linux wants to help out the project and write a quick script involving a connection to mysql to run queries, and then connect to SNMP to gather system information, then export all of that to stdout as XML… let me know! I already have the MySQL part outputting XML so we just need the SNMP part and some error checking. Email me at themattreid at gmail dot com or commetnt on this post if interested. You’ll get credit on the project as a contributor.

Introduction

StackOverflow is an amazing site for coding questions. It was created by Joel Spolsky of joelonsoftware.com, Jeff Atwood of codinghorror.com, and some other incredibly smart guys who truly care about user experience. I have been a total fan of SO since it went mainstream and it's now a borderline addiction (you can see my StackOverflow badge on the right sidebar).

The Story

Update 6/21/09: This server is currently under very heavy load (10-200), even with caching plugins enabled. Please bear with me as I try to resolve the situation.

This Wednesday (May 20, 2009) Andrey Hristov and Ulf Wendel from the MySQL Connector development team are going to talk about the MySQL Connector for C++ at 10:00 AM PT. Andrey and Ulf are planning to talk about the architecture, API, portability, support for: buffered/unbuffered result sets, prepared statements, stored procedures; and the planned features for Connector/C++ 1.0.6 GA.

Plan to attend if you are a C++ developer working [or planning to work] on MySQL database applications. Anyone can attend this webinar for free, and it may last for about 45 minutes. Register at the following location to receive further instructions on how to join the web conference:

With the introduction of MySQL Connector/C++, now C++ application developers have one additional option to choose from, to connect to MySQL Server 5.1 or later from a C++ application. Admittedly, as of today, there isn't enough documentation with examples to show the capabilities [and gotchas] of MySQL Connector/C++. I tried to fill that gap with the technical article, Developing Database Applications Using MySQL Connector/C++. Hopefully it serves as a starting point for the C++ developers while waiting for the MySQL Connectors documentation team to publish the official documentation on MySQL Developer Zone.

While you are at it, don't forget to check the supplement document, Installing MySQL Connector/C++ from Source, in case if you …
