The manual has a great example here for basic use of mysql++.

But if your having trouble with C++/oop basics, it might not make much sense to you. Prehaps it might be an idea to brush up on your skills, and come back.

Otherwise there is the C MySQL API, which is just as easy to use.

i'm not understanding one thing, i downloaded mysql-standard-4.0.20-pc-linux-i686.tar.gz from mysql.com and i developed programs in c++, but not object oriented, that insert, delete, etc, now i'm translating these programs to oo and i'm having problems to compile them, i've already installed, at least i think, mysql++ but the problem goes on, how do i use mysql++?
