libmysql.lib 和 mysqlclient.lib的区别

Hi
I am using 5.0.51b and only dll which i could find in the installation directory libmysql.DLL only.
I assume running your application you need to distribute only libmysql.dll.

Though i can find both the lib files, in visual studio 2005 using C apis i only link to libmysql.lib. The program works fine.


This link further explains.

If i understand correctly:-
1. You need to use libmysql.lib if you intend to give the libmysql.DLL along with your application.
2. You need mysqlclient if you intend to distribute your application as standalone. The size of executable may increase.
