Talking to MySQL from C

Folks.

I am trying to write a very simple database client application in C which will connect to a MySQL server on OSXServer.

Seems like most people communicate with MySQL via PHP, but I basically want to make a very simple 'list' of database entries in C.

Multiple client stations would be able to add records and view records from different Macs, all sharing the one central MySQL server database. Sounds pretty simple, right ?

I am probably missing something totally obvious, but how does one actually communicate with a MySQL server ? Is it just 'chat' on a Socket ? If so, where can I find the socket protocol ?

I already use TCP sockets to communicate between my own apps on different machines.

Could anyone point me to some *really* simple C source code to connect to, and run a simple query on a remote MySQL Server ?

Thanks

Mark Gilbert.
