Subject: The first preview of MySQL Connector/C++ is available!

Dear MySQL Users,

A new connector has been made available: MySQL Connector/C++. The MySQL 
Connector/C++ provides a C++ API for connecting client applications to 
the MySQL Server. You can download a preview at:

  http://downloads.mysql.com/forge/connector_cpp_preview

The MySQL Connector/C++ mimics the JDBC 3.0 API. JDBC is a commonly 
known and well designed API. The Connector/C++ preview implements about 
75% of the methods of the following classes of the JDBC 3.0 API:

  * Connection
  * DatabaseMetaData
  * Driver
  * PreparedStatement
  * ResultSet
  * ResultSetMetaData
  * Savepoint
  * Statement

Using MySQL Connector/C++ instead of the MySQL C API (MySQL Client 
Library) offers the following advantages for C++ users:

  * Convenience of pure C++ - no C function calls
  * Support of a well designed API - JDBC 3.0
  * Support of a commonly known and well documented API - JDBC 3.0
  * Support of the object oriented programming paradigm
  * Shorter development times

You can find further details, including usage examples, on the project's 
MySQL Forge wiki page at:

  http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/Connector_C%2B%2B

Please note that the MySQL Connector/C++ is released as a Software 
Preview. We do not recommend using it in production environments or 
systems with critical data.

Feedback, bug reports, bug fixes, patches and so on are welcome and 
appreciated:

You may also want to contribute to the MySQL Forum on C/C++ at 
http://forums.mysql.com/list.php?45 or join the MySQL Connector/C++ 
mailing list http://lists.mysql.com/connector-cplusplus .

Connector/C++ is licensed under the terms of the GPL, like most MySQL 
Connectors. There are special exceptions to the terms and conditions of 
the GPL as it is applied to this software, see FLOSS License Exception 
(http://www.mysql.com/about/legal/licensing/foss-exception.html). If you 
need a non-GPL license for commercial distribution, please contact

Enjoy!
