Re: [boost] MySQL ASIO library

6 Apr 2020

      I'm going to come down on the side of those who suggest that you 
consider other database systems besides mysql.

One suggestion for you: Think BIG!!!

Consider the following:

you've got some sort class like

class mysql {
	record query("...");
	record get_next();
	// or something like that
	...
};

Would it that hard to:

class sql {
	record query("...") = 0;
	record get_next() = 0;
	// or something like that
};

class mysql : public sql {
	record query("..."){...}
	record get_next(){...}
	...
};

class obdc : public sql {
	...
};

main(){
	sql & s = obdc(...);
	record r = s.query(...); ...
	...
}

so that one could/would write backend independent code?  I would think 
that this would be the SQL killer app for C++
