An idiomatic C++ client library for theCloud SQL Admin API, a service for Cloud SQL database instance management.
While this library isGA, please note that the Google Cloud C++ client libraries donotfollowSemantic Versioning.
Quickstart
The following shows the code that you'll run in thegoogle/cloud/sql/quickstart/directory, which should give you a taste of the Cloud SQL Admin API C++ client library API.
This library offers multiple*Clientclasses, which are listed below. Each one of these classes exposes all the RPCs for a service as member functions of the class. This library groups multiple services because they are part of the same product or are often used together. A typical example may be the administrative and data plane operations for a single product.
The library also has other classes that provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock the*Clientclasses when testing your application.
