We welcome your feedback.
FWIW, it is a very strong naming standard in boost to use uppercase words *only* for macros. I believe that namespace SOCI is a little ugly to look. But of course it is just a matter of taste.
But names are very important and SOCI seems a really bad 'name' to me, even in these acronymic times. I couldn't even quickly find what it was an acronym for! And so the namespace name is also a bad choice. If we can agree that this has a Boost library 'candidate' status (something I think we need a formal procedure to assign), then you could claim Boost.SQL? I suggest that you now ask Boosters for suggestions for names and try to get a consensus before review. The longer you delay a name change, the worse the grepping job ;-) Paul --- Paul A Bristow Prizet Farmhouse, Kendal, Cumbria UK LA8 8AB +44 1539561830 & SMS, Mobile +44 7714 330204 & SMS pbristow@hetp.u-net.com
