MySQL database development files (metapackage)

MySQL is a fast, stable and true multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. SQL (Structured Query Language) is the most popular database query language in the world. The main goals of MySQL are speed, robustness and ease of use.

This package depends on the default implementation of the client development libraries and header files (API and ABI defined by MySQL). Depending on the default defined through this metapackage, the underlying implementation may be provided by either MySQL or MariaDB. Build-Depend on this package and then link using -lmysqlclient. You will end up with a binary that depends on either libmysqlclient.so.X or libmariadbclient.so.X depending on the current default. dpkg-shlibdeps should correctly generate a dependency on libmysqlclientX or libmariadbclientX as appropriate.
