Honestly, for something like the MySQL C API, I would recommend getting a
good book. There is one by New Riders, it runs about $40 and is well worth it.
It covers administration of the database server, the database tables, as
well as
SQL queries and the different programming APIs.
If you dont have the cash for that, www.mysql.com has an excellent section
on their website regarding the C API. The book, however, is better.
