MySQL Connector/C++ versions compatible with MySQL server versions 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7 (no replies)

Hi All,

We are an enterprise trying to build a backup and restore solution for MySQL. We plan to use Connector/C++ API to perform locking and run some queries on MySQL DB. Our software is going to provide support for MySQL versions 5.5.5 and above.

Could anyone provide me info on what MySQL Connector/C++ versions are compatible with MySQL server versions 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7 ? Is there a single version of Connector/C++ that I can use with all the above versions ?

Also our software is going to be developed on Linux (RHEL 5 & above and SLES 11 SP4 & above).

Thanks.
Archana
