28.7.4.5 C API Server and Client Library Versions

Contents

The string and numeric forms of the MySQL server version are available at compile time as the values of the MYSQL_SERVER_VERSION and MYSQL_VERSION_ID macros, and at runtime as the values of the mysql_get_server_info() and mysql_get_server_version() functions.

The MySQL client library version depends on the type of distribution that provides the library:

For MySQL distributions, the client library version is the MySQL version. The string and numeric forms of this version are available at compile time as the values of the MYSQL_SERVER_VERSION and MYSQL_VERSION_ID macros, and at runtime as the values of the mysql_get_client_info() and mysql_get_client_version() functions.
The LIBMYSQL_VERSION and LIBMYSQL_VERSION_ID macros have the same values as MYSQL_SERVER_VERSION and MYSQL_VERSION_ID and the two sets of macros can be used interchangeably.
For Connector/C distributions, the client library version is the Connector/C version. The string and numeric forms of this version are available at compile time as the values of the LIBMYSQL_VERSION and LIBMYSQL_VERSION_ID macros, and at runtime as the values of the mysql_get_client_info() and mysql_get_client_version() functions.
The MYSQL_SERVER_VERSION and MYSQL_VERSION_ID macros indicate the string and numeric forms of the MySQL version on which the Connector/C distribution is based.
