Two APIs are available in the MySQL Contrib directory (http://www.mysql.com/Downloads/Contrib/).
You can compile the MySQL Windows source with Borland C++ 5.02. (The Windows source includes only projects for Microsoft VC++. For Borland C++ you have to do the project files yourself.)
One known problem with Borland C++ is that it uses a different structure alignment than VC++. This means that you will run into problems if you try to use the default libmysql.dll libraries (that were compiled with VC++) with Borland C++. You can do one of the following to avoid this problem.
You can use the static MySQL libraries for Borland C++, found on http://www.mysql.com/downloads/os-win32.html.
Only call mysql_init( ) with NULL as an argument, not a pre-allocated MYSQL struct.
