#include <mysql.h>
and
//try to make connection to database
MYSQL *connection, mysql;
MYSQL_RES *result;
MYSQL_ROW row;
int query_state;
mysql_init(&mysql);
connection = mysql_real_connect(&mysql,"http://1.1.1.1","user","password","database name",0,0,0);
if (connection != NULL)
{
cout << "database connected \n";
}
this code gives me
