Or you could use the MySQL client libraries directly:

	http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_Clients.html#Clients

The tradeoff is essentially that the ODBC library will let you change
database backends (eg to PostGreSQL etc) easily later. The MySQL client
library probably has more features (because it can assume it's got direct
access to a MySQL server - the ODBC libraries probably constrain you to
features common to most databases).
