To give up is also 'a vast overreaction'.

I am working on porting MySQL client and server to Cygwin for about
several years and I'm always interested in applications / bindings
which helps me finding bugs.  Now we have C++ bindings ported, fine.

If you think using shared version of mysqlclient and libmysql++ is not
stable, then make it optional (means make --disable-shared default).
Maybe a warning if a user wants to override it would be nice.

Initially I only wanted to help, you asked how to build a shared lib
on Cygwin, I replied.  Now that we found one or more bugs, this is fine!

Lets track down what goes wrong.

You say it works when using static versions of mysqlclient and mysql++,
I see the same error when trying this:

$ ./resetdb.exe 192.168.1.101
Connecting to database server...
Error creating DB: Access denied for user ''@'INSPIRON' to database 
'mysql_cpp_data'

$ cygcheck resetdb
Found: C:\cygwin\instsoft\mysql++\mysql++-2.0.0\examples\resetdb.exe
C:/cygwin/instsoft/mysql++/mysql++-2.0.0/examples/resetdb.exe
   C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
     C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
       C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
       C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
       C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll
   C:\cygwin\bin\cygz.dll

Connecting works fine, then getting back the access denied.
