Just because the C++ API to MySQL isn't pure crap, doesn't mean the database is. Having a horrible C++ API isn't grounds for switching a database.
I've tried to use the following C++ APIs for MySQL:
-MySQL++: I couldn't get it to compile under cygwin. And if I did, I would have to distribute the cygwin source as well....not cool.
- mysqlcppapi (mysqlcppapi.sourceforge.net): I couldn't get it to compile under cygwin.
- dbconnect (dbconnect.sourceforge.net): This is still a little premature, but it is well worth a look at. I'm currently trying it out and so far, I like it. With a simple change of one variable, I can connect to Oracle. But, like I said, it's still an infant, and needs some work. It's lacking a lot of advanced features to each database, but you just need to do simple queries, this is highly recommended.
I don't want to create a Psql vs. MySQL war...they both have their advantages. Enough said.

It is quite unfortunate that such a good SQL server as MySQL has such a horrible C++ API. Since I started using it I had all sorts of troubles like being unable to use gcc-3.0.x because the patch is corrupted. I would've expected better from you. [...]
Kinda makes you want to look at PostGres, huh?
