According to that link, you would not use the CLIENT_SSL flag within the mysql_real_connect() function. That file suggested using mysql_ssl_set() before using mysql_real_connect(). Unfortunately this looks like a pain since it would require some type of file for the certificate and key.

Do you know of any API's for SSH that might work for me? The reason I am looking into SSH is because there would be no external files necessary for the encryption. Everthing would be easier in the long run. With SSL, it gets annoying when you have to purchase certificates.
