I am trying to write a very simple database client application in C
which will connect to a MySQL server on OSXServer.
Other people have answered your question from a technical perspective,
but also be aware that linking with the MySQL client library may
impose licensing requirements (i.e. require you to GPL your
application).

This is an interesting point.
My app is a commercial product - and would assume that the user will
be connecting to MySQL pre-installed on Mac OSX Server (which
presumably Apple have a license for ?)
I guess an option would be to create and open source an intermediate
daemon application to run alongside my commercial app interfacing a
generic query from my app with the MySQL C-library. Does anyone
know if this type of thing exists already ?
if this is too off-topic, perhaps someone could advise a more appropriate forum
