title: C++ Mysql Connector requires boost
body: <p>General Information:</p>
  
  <p>Windows 7 x86</p>
  
  <p>Microsoft Visual C++ 2008</p>
  
  <p>Mysql 5.6</p>
  
  <p>Mysql Connector C++ 1.1.3</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to create simple C++ application that works with mysql database. I downloaded and installed mysql and mysql c++ connector.</p>
  
  <p>Also I have configured visual studio for dynamic library as described in this article:
  <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-cpp/en/connector-cpp-apps-windows-visual-studio.html" rel="nofollow">http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-cpp/en/connector-cpp-apps-windows-visual-studio.html</a></p>
  
  <p>Than I follow this example:
  <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-cpp/en/connector-cpp-examples-connecting.html" rel="nofollow">http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-cpp/en/connector-cpp-examples-connecting.html</a></p>
  
  <p>But when I try to compile application I get error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Program Files\MySQL\Connector C++ 1.1.3\include\cppconn/connection.h(31) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'boost/variant.hpp': No such file or directory
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So, does mysql connector uses Boost libraries? On official mysql website there is non information about boost is required.</p>
  
  <p>How to resolve that problem? Thanks a lot</p>
