I just wanted to share this if someone else is wants to do what I want to: Develop C/C++ programs using Cygwin that talk to a native Windows MySQL server.

Great!

The issue with the
/tmp/mysql.sock is that MySQL uses domain sockets for *NIX machines and named pipes on Windows machines. Specifying the IP address uses TCP/IP sockets, which work as expected.

It would be interesting to see if the cygwin libmysql could be fooled into using named pipes when connecting to the native mysqld. I guess that could give some speedup, at least a big difference can be seen on *NIX when using domain sockets instead of TCP/IP.


I'm just thinking loud here. :)
When compiling libmysql under cygwin it should be possible to also the compile in the named pipe support.
