MySQL NDB Cluster API Developer Guide
To use the NDB API with MySQL, you must have the
libndbclient client library and its
associated header files installed alongside the regular MySQL
client libraries and headers under
install_dir/lib-DWITH_NDBCLUSTER=ON or use a
MySQL binary package that supports the NDB
storage engine.
This Guide is targeted for use with MySQL NDB Cluster 7.5 and later.
C and C++ language support.
The following table provides information about minimum C and
C++ language requirements for compiling MGM API applications,
NDB API applications, and the libndbclient
library against supported versions of NDB Cluster.
Table 2.1 Language support requirements
| NDB Cluster Version | MGM API | NDB API | header files | libndbclient |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7.5, 7.6 | C99 (GCC 4.5; Clang—any version) | C++98 (GCC 4.8.1; Clang 3.3) | C99 or C++98 | C++03 (GCC 4.3; Clang—any version) |
| 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 (NDB 8.1 and 8.2 are Innovation releases which are no longer available) | C++11 (GCC 4.8.1; Clang 3.3) | C++11 | C++11 | C++03 (In these versions, this is the same as the level of C++ language support required to compile the MySQL server.) |
| 8.3 and later | C99 | C++11 | C99 or C++11 | C++17 (GCC 8; Clang 5) |
