For Linux, you need to install `MySQL development` package and `pkg-config`. For Windows, install [the installer](https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/) , then copy the `include` and `lib` folders to `\thirdparty\mysql`. Note: if you encounter weird errors (your program just exits right away, without printing any messages, even though you have `println('hi')` statements in your `fn main()`), when trying to run a program that does `import mysql` on windows, you may need to copy the .dll file: `thirdparty/mysql/lib/libmysql.dll` , into the folder of the executable too (it should be right next to the .exe file). This is a temporary workaround, until we have a more permanent solution, or at least more user friendly errors for that situation. ## Basic Usage ```v oksyntax import mysql // Create connection mut connection := mysql.Connection{ username: 'root' dbname: 'mysql' } // Connect to server connection.connect()? // Change the default database connection.select_db('db_users')? // Do a query get_users_query_result := connection.query('SELECT * FROM users')? // Get the result as maps for user in get_users_query_result.maps() { // Access the name of user println(user['name']) } // Free the query result get_users_query_result.free() // Close the connection if needed connection.close() ```
