Another way to access MySQL database??

[XManBG]

Hello together,

could someone help me out with directions on that topic? My MySQL server runs on Ubuntu 12.4. The only way I know to connect and access the database local on the server machine is using PHP. To use the PHP I have to load some page in a browser, which would not be the high performance way...

Is there another way for local access to the database tables and fields, and perform standard read/write operations thereon without using PHP and browser? How about some sort of scripting language? Or just C++??



Thanks

After 24h searching I'd like to share my founding with you. There is something on the MySQL site, that answers my question. It is called MySQL Connectors and API:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/...tors-apis.html

It's clearly explained which MySQL Connector is better in terms of performance... There is a table with the method each Connector is using for connecting and working with MySQL: either libmysql or Native Driver. The second one should be quicker, but is supported by few script languages only.

in all likelihood, C would be the best choice.
