LibMySQL Wrapper for MySQL Databases

[kinglestat]

and where are the really important functions which are truly useful when not using PB directly?

mysql_stmt_prepare()
mysql_stmt_bind_param()
mysql_stmt_execute()

[Longshot]

Is there anything specific that needs to be done for connecting to a remote database over the default port 3306? I am getting nothing back from the test example, and I am sure I can connect to the database, since it works with HeidiSQL which uses libmysql.dll.

In case anyone cares, it was outputting this error: "Connection using old (pre-4.1.1) authentication protocol refused (client option 'secure_auth' enabled)"

The SQL database I am connecting to appears to use an old style of hashing the password. When I swapped to an older C connector DLL for libmysql it connects just fine. I believe the issue to be the password and nothing else.
