Hallo, a few months ago there was a discussion on how a database interface library would be a welcome addition to TR2 and the SOCI developers suggested that SOCI could be a valid candidate for that role (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/140816). They also mentioned their intention to make SOCI ready for submission to Boost.
Was any progress made on this issue? Is there any interest in reopening the discussion on such a library, SOCI submission notwithstanding? I'm not sure what there is to discuss. It didn't happen :-( And TR2 submission time is over. I still want to see SOCI or the equivalent in Boost, but the authors have to bring it forward. Last I knew they were waiting to have an ODBC driver first. I didn't see the need for that, but they thought it was essential...
Ok, if we were waiting specifically for an ODBC driver that's news to me :-)
I'm pretty sure it was Maciej that expressed that opinion to me... <...snip...>
After the 2.2 release (in a couple of weeks), we are planning to branch our code base to start preparing for submission to boost.
Great, look forward to it :-) Jeff
