Description:
In manual
22.5.5. MySQL Connector/C++ Getting Started: Usage Examples
where is a line that stats :
"Please check the examples/ directory of your MySQL Connector/C++ installation for complete programs.
The examples in the examples/ directory include:
*
examples/connect.cpp: ......."
But i can't find example directory nor in downloaded nor in installation directory's of connector C++.
Can some one direct me to this directory? Please! :(
i even Googled for separate download but no luck.
Please post me an link or something
You cam email me silkius123@yahoo.com

How to repeat:
Just try to find this directory in Connector/C++ 1.1.0 content.

What exact binaries package you had downloaded? I do see examples directory in source code, so it can be some packaging bug.

I had downloaded this package mysql-connector-c++-1.1.0-win32.msi

Looks like examples subdirectory is available only in source code tar.gz:

macbook-pro:5.0 openxs$ tar -tzvf ~/Downloads/mysql-connector-c++-1.1.0.tar.gz | grep examples

If this is intended it would be nice to explicitly explain this in the manual.

thanks a lot, now i can study on my own. and yes it would be nice if directions of example directory were more obvious in manual.

Is the intention that the examples directory should only be available in the source distribution? Thinking of other products, the examples directory should be available with the binary install shouldn't it? Please clarify so I can update the documentation accordingly. Thanks.

Yes it should

I downloaded the binary version for Linux. There is no Examples either. So the OS should not only be Microsoft Windows.

OS: Ubuntu 10.04
Binary downloaded: mysql-connector-c++-1.1.0-glibc2.3-x86-32bit.tar.gz

Please add examples directory to linux binary version as well.

Thanks

I still don't understand how I can open the examples directory. Why has this not been fixed yet?
