title: MySQL C API - Access rows by column name
body: <p>Is there a way to access the rows in a MySQL database using their column name?</p>
  
  <p>For example, instead of using <code>row[0]</code> for the first column, you would use something like <code>row['authors']</code>. I want to program directly with the C API without any wrappers, and not in C++.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help!</p>
