I am trying to connect to a database using MySQL C++ Connector. I have used this code segment many times:

driver = get_driver_instance();
connection = driver->connect("tcp://127.0.0.1:3306", "user", "pass");

and it has worked successfully, but now I am getting this error thrown from this code segment:

"Unknown MySQL server host 'ÇD$Œþ' (11001)"

All that I can find online is relating to using the wrong hostname there so I don’t know where this error could be coming from. I’m compiling under Debug mode in Visual Studio 2005 and I’m in a MFC project, if that helps any. Does anyone have any ideas for how to resolve this?

Thanks so much for your time!

    After much struggling trying to fix character sets, I fixed it by using Connector/NET instead. This forum post:

    lead me in the right direction.
