mysql_get_server_version(3)

✨ mysql_get_server_version ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the MariaDB Connector/C corner of the internet 💖 this lil page is all about mysql_get_server_version — she's the one who tells you the numeric version of whatever server you're currently connected to. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

mysql_get_server_version — returns numeric server version 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <mysql.h>

unsigned long mysql_get_server_version(MYSQL * mysql);

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

She returns an integer representing the version of the connected server. that's it, that's the whole vibe. one number, iconic, no extra drama 🫶

🍓 PARAMETER 🍓

• mysql — a connection identifier, which was previously allocated by mysql_init(3) and connected by mysql_real_connect(3). so basically, she needs an already-connected bestie to gossip about, not a random stranger you just made up ✨

💜 NOTES 💜

The form of the version number is:

VERSION_MAJOR * 10000 + VERSION_MINOR * 100 + VERSION_PATCH

so yeah, it's all math-pilled — major gets the big multiplier, minor gets the middle one, patch keeps it cute and small. iykyk 💀

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

The version number of the connected server ⭐ like, literally the whole point.
