Do you know any ?


Not personally, no, but they're out there.

free. And the client library surely has lots of alternatives that can
be used in a closed-source client program.


Links please.


If you want links you go and google it.


Surely if you're confident saying that the MySQL client library surely
has alternatives, you must have an example, no? Personally I find the
assertion somewhat surprising, since there is no market nor "itch" for
a third-party MySQL client library that I know of.

SQL is a standard so a variety of client libraries for that standard shou=

be fairly easy to find


While SQL the language is indeed a standard, there is no standard for
wire represntations of either queries or result sets -- the mechanism
by which SQL queries are actually performed is left entirely to the
implementation. SQL doesn't even mandate that there be a wire-level
representation: there are several databases that run entirely in the
client process's address space, and queries are parsed and turned into
function calls, not byte streams.

Of course, if the MySQL server butchers the standard


Heh.
