download mysql for windows. the .h will be in the includes directory. the compiler will probebly want more then the .h too; like a lib. you'll know for sure if you get a linker error. the lib will be in the lib dir.

Ugh, Zim...

EAGLE II, download the archive attached to this post.

For using plugins that need (my)SQL access, you only need to have libmySQL.dll in your mervbot directory and change database settings in a .ini file.

For developing plugins that use (my)SQL access, you need to have libmySQL.lib (inside sql.zip inside attachment), copy this file into "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Lib" and add it to your Project Settings of your plugin:
Click on the menu 'Project' / Settings / Tab 'Link' / In the 'Object/library modules' textbox type 'libmySQL.lib'. Now your plugin should compile.

If you need methods that already deal with connecting and doing queries on the database, I suggest you to use SQLClient.cpp and SQLClient.h (and sqlini.cpp for the .ini file). These files are also included in the attachment.

Good luck!

Thank you very much. This was annoying me. I should have asked you in the first place MMav. (bow down to master bot coder)
