On release the iPhone and iPod Touch have only one database application available to them; SQLite. This is all fine and dandy if you are looking to locally store data and manipulate records on your device, however this provides no connectivity to an external server. I have taken the liberty to undertake a massive project of porting the base connectivity from libmysqlclient to a build target static library for the iPhone SDK.


Currently my port compiles properly and allows access to the base functions for creating connections, preforming queries and basic concepts of administration. Since Sun’s GNU license conflicts with Apple’s iPhone Developer license in the regards to releasing source code I am awaiting further details from Sun Microsystems for a release of the binary library. As a base test for this API I have started development of a iPhone/iPod native admin application for MySQL, which should near completion soon.
