Description:
I just used the mysql C api in my Visual studio 2005.but I found that the my_socket won't compile.I add " #include <Winsock2.h> " in the mysql.h.add it work.I think it's a simple bug.

How to repeat:
just add "#include <Winsock2.h>" in mysql.h! And it work.

Thank you for the bug report. Please follow the instructions documented in the below item of Manual:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/windows-client-compiling.html

2.10.7. Compiling MySQL Clients on Windows

In your source files, you should include my_global.h before mysql.h:

#include <my_global.h>
#include <mysql.h>

my_global.h includes any other files needed for Windows compatibility (such as windows.h) if you compile your program on Windows.
