I don't think it is a good idea accessing the database directly. Using a web service (REST) on the server and accessing the web service from the iOS client is not only common but highly recommended. You can, however, access mysql diretly as you would do in any plain C program. Here is an expample. http://blog.iosplace.com/?p=30
