Coming out of the day: I am not at the MySQL Conference and Expo 2009!
Andrey, who has developed the majority of the source code of both MySQL Connector/C++ and the MySQL native driver for PHP (mysqlnd), will be giving two talks about them. Lawrin, Andrey and I finished writing the slides for the Not so Quiet on the C++ Front talk. Johannes, Andrey and I also finished writing the slides for the mysqlnd: How the PHP/MySQL Stack Got Better presentation.
And, last but not least, …

The MySQL Connector/OpenOffice.org project is
still alive. The code of the alpha version has been "frozen". The
Hamburg based Sun OpenOffice.org QA team is testing the alpha builds
of the OpenOffice.org extension for OpenOffice.org 3.1. Initial
feedback is very promising. Under the hood, the alpha version is
using the recently released beta of the MySQL Connector/C++. The MySQL
Connector/OpenOffice.org is implemented as an OpenOffice.org
extension. OpenOffice.org extensions are extremly easy to install
Plug-Ins for OpenOffice.org.
The MySQL Connector/OpenOffice.org is also refered to as "native driver". The term "native driver" in MySQL speech means that the driver implements the …

[Read more]This is the Who-is-who of the MySQL driver for C++. From top left to bottom right: Andrey Hristov, Edwin Desouza, Lawrenty ‘’Lawrin'’ Novitsky (the older guy), Ignacio “Iggy” Galarza, Georg Richter, Kent Boortz, Elizabeth “Liz” Drachnik, Michael “Mike” Frank, Anthony “Tony” Bedford.
Andrey Hristov is the main developer of the driver. He has earned credits at MySQL before as the developer of the Event Scheduler and the MySQL native driver for PHP (mysqlnd).
Edwin Desouza is responsible for the morning greetings. Every second morning we can expect to see some suggestions or hints from him on how to improve the driver. Edwin works as a Senior Director Product …

A few days ago, I have published a tutorial on building a
Connector/C++ client application on Windows using
Visual Studio. Its time for a Linux How-To. My
I-Do-Everything (IDE) choice on Linux is NetBeans 6.5.
NetBeans is open-source and free. A version with C and C++
support is lightweight (24MB download) and the code-completion feature has
ruled out Katy (kate) for writing Connector/C++ tests.
I am happy with every fast editor that offers syntax highlighting and supports a mouse. NetBeans does both. I do not know how to write Unix Makefiles. NetBeans does. A perfect match for Dummies and Little Idiots to build a C++ client application for MySQL using the …

[Read more]Little idiots (culture clash - “Dear, Dummies”), please find a tutorial on how to compile a command line client using the MySQL Driver for C++ with Visual Studio."Little idiot" may sound offending to native speakers. But it is spot on to describe my skills about compiling a Connector/C++ client on Windows. I need step-by-step instructions including screen shots. You will find them below.
The Internet Super Hero has started as a Little Idiot. Back in 1999 and ealier little idiots speaking german and trying to learn how to use MySQL loved Guido Stepkens MySQL introduction at http://www.little-idiot.de/mysql/mysql.html. Thank you for this early contribution to MySQL 3.23 and PHP 3, Guido! I still love the URL - little-idiot.de.
