 22.2.16.1 Overview of the Embedded MySQL Server Library
 .......................................................
 
 The embedded MySQL server library makes it possible to run a
 full-featured MySQL server inside a client application.  The main
 benefits are increased speed and more simple management for embedded
 applications.
 
 The embedded server library is based on the client/server version of
 MySQL, which is written in C/C++. Consequently, the embedded server also
 is written in C/C++. There is no embedded server available in other
 languages.
 
 The API is identical for the embedded MySQL version and the
 client/server version.  To change an old threaded application to use the
 embedded library, you normally only have to add calls to the following
 functions:
 
 *Function*         *When to Call*
 `mysql_server_init()'Should be called before any other MySQL function
                    is called, preferably early in the `main()'
                    function.
 `mysql_server_end()'Should be called before your program exits.
 `mysql_thread_init()'Should be called in each thread you create that
                    will access MySQL.
 `mysql_thread_end()'Should be called before calling `pthread_exit()'
 
 Then you must link your code with `libmysqld.a' instead of
 `libmysqlclient.a'.
 
 The `mysql_server_XXX()' functions are also included in
 `libmysqlclient.a' to allow you to change between the embedded and the
 client/server version by just linking your application with the right
 library.  `mysql_server_init()' mysql_server_init.
