在Linux下编译安装MySQL并通过C语言操作MySQL数据库

作者：zieckey(zieckey@yahoo.com.cn)

1. mysql在linux下的编译和安装
[root@localhost zieckey]# mkdir /usr/local/mysql
[root@localhost zieckey]# cp mysql-4.0.12.tar.gz /home/
[root@localhost root]# cd /home/
解压
[root@localhost home]# tar zxvf mysql-4.0.12.tar.gz
[root@localhost home]# cd mysql-4.0.12
配置，生成Makefile
[root@localhost mysql-4.0.12]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --without-debug --with-extra-charsets=gb2312 --enable-assembler --without-isam --without-innodb --with-pthread --enable-thread-safe-client
编译
[root@localhost mysql-4.0.12]# make
安装
[root@localhost mysql-4.0.12]# make install

[root@localhost mysql-4.0.12]# scripts/mysql_install_db

创建一个数据库管理员
[root@localhost mysql-4.0.12]# groupadd mysql
[root@localhost mysql-4.0.12]# useradd -g mysql mysql

改变权限。
[root@localhost mysql]# chown -R root /usr/local/mysql
[root@localhost mysql]# chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/var
[root@localhost mysql]# chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql

配置环境变量，以便于编程
[root@localhost mysql-4.0.12]# cd /usr/local/mysql/bin/
[root@localhost bin]# export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin/
[root@localhost bin]# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/
[root@localhost bin]# env

启动mysql服务器
[root@localhost root]# cd /usr/local/mysql/bin/
[root@localhost bin]# ./mysqld_safe -u mysql&
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/var
查看是否启动了
[root@localhost root]# pgrep mysql
15931
15950
15951

启动一个mysql客户端
[root@localhost root]# /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or /g.
Your MySQL connection id is 1 to server version: 4.0.12

Type 'help;' or '/h' for help. Type '/c' to clear the buffer.

mysql>
创建一个数据库
mysql> create database cusemysql;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

并使用这个数据库
mysql> use cusemysql;
Database changed
在给数据库内创建一个表
mysql> create table children(childno int not null unique,fname varchar(20),age int);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

在该表内插入一项数据
mysql> insert into children values(5,"花儿",10);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> select * from children;
+---------+-------+------+
| childno | fname | age |
+---------+-------+------+
| 5 | 花儿 | 10 |
+---------+-------+------+
1 row in set (0.03 sec)

2. 下面进行具体的操作

插入：insert

好的，我们现编辑一段c代码，取名为insert.c

///////////////////////////////////
/* insert.c */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "mysql.h"
/*注意哦，上面也可以是mysql.h的绝对地址，一般在mysql下的include目录下，仔细看看你的在哪里？*/

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
MYSQL my_connection;

int res;

mysql_init(&my_connection);

/*mysql_real_connect(&mysql,host,user,passwd,dbname,0,NULL,0) == NULL)*/
if (mysql_real_connect(&my_connection, "localhost", "root", "","cusemysql",0,NULL,CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS))
{
printf("Connection success/n");
res = mysql_query(&my_connection, "insert into children values(11,'Anny',5)");

if (!res)
{
printf("Inserted %lu rows/n",(unsigned long)mysql_affected_rows(&my_connection));
/*里头的函数返回受表中影响的行数*/
}
else
{
//分别打印出错误代码及详细信息
fprintf(stderr, "Insert error %d: %s/n",mysql_errno(&my_connection),mysql_error(&my_connection));
}
mysql_close(&my_connection);
}

else
{
fprintf(stderr, "Connection failed/n");

if (mysql_errno(&my_connection))
{
fprintf(stderr, "Connection error %d: %s/n",mysql_errno(&my_connection),mysql_error(&my_connection));
}
}
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////
代码写完了，要编译哦
[root@zieckey mysql]# gcc -o insert insert.c

[root@zieckey mysql]#
头文件和库文件位置没有指定
[root@zieckey mysql]# gcc -o insert insert.c -I/usr/include/mysql/ -L/usr/lib/mysql/

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
[root@zieckey mysql]#

gcc还是找不到头文件，下面我们可以这样,指定gcc专门找 mysqlclient 之类的库

[root@localhost testmysql]# gcc -o insert insert.c -lmysqlclient -I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql/ -L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql

我用用 -lmysqlclient 选项就可以了(前面我们生成的库文件是 libmysqlclient.so.12.0.0 等,
去掉前面的lib和后面的版本标志,就剩下 mysqlclient 了所以是 -lmysqlclient )。

ok,现在我们执行看看
[root@zieckey mysql]# ./insert
Connection Success
Inserted 1 rows

year,果然可以，呵呵
不信到mysql下看看表children中是否多了刚才插入的那一行数据

mysql> select * from children;
+---------+-------+------+
| childno | fname | age |
+---------+-------+------+
| 5 | 花儿 | 10 |
| 11 | Anny | 5 |
+---------+-------+------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

总结：这里我们了解了MySQL数据库在Linux下的安装，以及一些基本的操作，并且我们可以通过C语言来操作MySQL数据库，这真是太令人兴奋了。欢迎大家交流
