FWIW, the first release at BIND 10 DHCP will be using MySQL for its
lease database, mainly because that is the preferred option of the
principal sponsor of the project.

The DHCP team are doing the early work on this and have not yet got
round to writing any MySQL-related code.  But that will come very
soon, so a choice that needs to be made ASAP is whether to standardise
on using the C API

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/c.html

or the C++ connector?

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/connector-cpp.html

... or something like MySQL++

http://tangentsoft.net/mysql++

My preference is the C API - it is the one thing we can rely upon.
Otherwise we have yet another package to rely upon.  There are also
(L)GPC licence issues with these products.
