How about boost:dbi? short for database interface. Its short, obvious and to the point. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mateusz Loskot" <mateusz@loskot.net> To: <boost@lists.boost.org> Sent: Friday, December 08, 2006 11:19 AM Subject: Re: [boost] SOCI 2.2.0 - The C++ Database Access Library

Whatever we pick, I think we should avoid any name that isn't pretty immediately clear on a quick scan. With a few exceptions (i.e. Spirit), you can quickly tell what a boost library does based solely on it's name.
Right, I think Boost.DatabaseAccess is pretty clear.
But rather long :-(
How about Boost.DataAccess and boost::dataaccess?
Or even my original suggestion Boost.Access and boost::access?
What about this one:
Boost.DataAccess, this name could be long, as Unit Test Framework is long too. But namespace could be boost::db_access, not longer than boost::unit_test.
One might even access Microsoft Access (TM) with it?
Sure. There is ODBC backend test for MS Access in the SOCI CVS.
