[webstack-discuss] Including MySQL 5.0 with Solaris [LSARC/2007/608 FastTrack timeout 10/26/2007]

[Ritu Kamboj]

Hi Danek,

In his email yesterday Martin said the following:

-----------------------
If you are only building clients then technically you only need  
libmysqlclient, but if you are developing a C app that accesses the  
structures and information in the response from mysqlclient you may  
need the other (libmystrings particularly).

If you want to develop or add a storage engine to existing setup,  then 
you need all the other libraries *except* libmysqlclient.
--------------------------------

that explains why libmystrings and lib<storageengine> exist....

I shall get a definitive answer regarding libdbug and libmysys.

Regards,
Ritu
