如何使用C (Ubuntu）连接到MySQL数据库

我不确定如何使用Ubuntu Linux上的C 连接到MySQL数据库。具体来说，我希望能够创建一个名为" new "的数据库。我不确定要在哪里放置查询。以下是我正在使用的代码。

驱动程序= get_driver_instance（）; 给我错误消息 undefined引用'get_driver_instance'

#include <cstdlib>
#include "mysql_driver.h"
#include "mysql_connection.h"
#include <cppconn/driver.h>
#include <cppconn/exception.h>
#include <cppconn/resultset.h>
#include <cppconn/statement.h>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
cout << endl;
cout << "Running 'SELECT 'Hello World!' AS _message'..." << endl;
try {
  sql::Driver *driver;
  sql::Connection *con;
  sql::Statement *stmt;
  sql::ResultSet *res;
 /* Create a connection */
 driver = get_driver_instance();
 /* Write your own driver details */
 con = driver->connect("tcp://127.0.0.1:3306", "root", "pass");
 /* Connect to the MySQL test database */
 con->setSchema("test");
 stmt = con->createStatement();
 res = stmt->executeQuery("SELECT 'Hello World!' AS _message");
 while (res->next()) {
   cout << "t... MySQL replies: ";
 /* Access column data by alias or column name */
cout << res->getString("_message") << endl;
cout << "t... MySQL says it again: ";
/* Access column data by numeric offset, 1 is the first column */
cout << res->getString(1) << endl;
}
delete res;
delete stmt;
delete con;
}catch (sql::SQLException &e) {
  cout << "# ERR: SQLException in " << __FILE__;
  cout << "(" << __FUNCTION__ << ") on line ";
  cout  << __LINE__ << endl;
  cout << "# ERR: " << e.what();
  cout << " (MySQL error code: " << e.getErrorCode();
  cout << ", SQLState: " << e.getSQLState() << " )" << endl;
}
 cout << endl;
 return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
