Connect to MySQL via unix socket

[zakiwi]

Hi there,

I am wanting to connect to MySQL server 5.0 with unix sockets as opposed to TCP sockets.

Is that possible (or advisable), and if so, how.

Kind regards

Zakiwi

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

#define DBHOST "localhost"
#define DBUSER "root"
#define DBPASS "test"
#define DBBASE "accounting"
...
...
MYSQL mysql;
...
...
...

mysql_init(&mysql);
if(!mysql_real_connect(&mysql,DBHOST,DBUSER,DBPASS,DBBASE,0,NULL,0))
{
printf("Error Connecting To Database\n");
free(truncated);
 exit(1);
}

...
