I'd still really like to see a database binding library make it into TR2. Not having this is killing C++ against Java for application developers. We've had some periodic fits and starts, but it seems clear we won't have a Boost library by then. I'd still like to see someone with some time step up and take this on. It's been done about 10 times so I think a proposal could be gleaned from the best of the current bindings...
Just a quick note that the SOCI database library has been progressing nicely. The current release supports Oracle and Postgresql, and we have just recieved contributions of backends for SQLite and MySQL. The next release (later this month) should thus contain support for these 4 databases. http://soci.sourceforge.net/ Of course we welcome further contributions, e.g. SQLServer/Sybase etc. ;-) We are not yet at the point where we are ready to submit to boost, but we are moving in that direction.
