Process utf-8 data from MySQL in C++ and give result back

Question

I just simply want to know - how to get MySQL results to C++ in string (or another similar \"string\" datatype) in a way that would not deform data

Answer 1

From MySQL Reference

mysql_options() should be called after mysql_init() and before mysql_connect() or mysql_real_connect().

So your code should be

  mysql_init(&mysql);    
  mysql_options(&mysql, MYSQL_SET_CHARSET_NAME, "utf8"); 
  mysql_options(&mysql, MYSQL_INIT_COMMAND, "SET NAMES utf8"); 

  mysql_real_connect(&mysql,CTH_SERVER,CTH_USER,CTH_PASSWORD,CTH_DB_IN,0,0,0));
