    Chapter 8:  MySQL APIs 611 8.4.9.7  Licensing the Embedded Server The MySQL source code is covered by the GNU GPL license (see Appendix H [GPL license], page 774). One result of this is that any program which includes, by linking with libmysqld, the MySQL source code must be released as free software (under a license compatible with the GPL). We  encourage  everyone  to  promote  free  software  by  releasing  code  under  the  GPL  or  a compatible license.  For those who are not able to do this, another option is to purchase a commercial licence for the MySQL code from MySQL AB. For details,  please see  Sec- tion 1.4.3 [MySQL licenses], page 16. 8.5  MySQL C++ APIs Two APIs are available in the MySQL Contrib directory (http://www.mysql. 8.5.1  Borland C++ 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 les yourself.) One  known  problem  with  Borland  C++  is  that  it  uses  a  di erent  structure  alignment than  VC++.   This  means  that  you  will  run  into  problems  if  you  try  to  use  the  default libmysql.dll libraries (that was 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++   that  you  can   nd  on http://www.mysql.com/downloads/os-win32.html.    Only call mysql_init() with NULL as an argument, not a pre-allocated MYSQL struct. 8.6  MySQL Java Connectivity (JDBC) There  are  2  supported  JDBC  drivers  for  MySQL  (the  mm  driver  and  the  Reisin  JDBC driver).  You can nd a copy of the mm driver at http://mmmysql.sourceforge.net/ or http://www.mysql.com/Downloads/Contrib/ and the Reisin driver at http://www.caucho. For documentation consult any JDBC documentation and the driver's own documentation for MySQL-speci c features. 8.7  MySQL Python APIs The MySQL Contrib directory (http://www.mysql.com/Downloads/Contrib/) contains a Python interface written by Joseph Skinner.
