I'd suggest to not to consider the two as competing libraries, but rather complementing. Please, refer to Roland's comparison [1] w/ major difference outlined "sqlpp11 assumes that you know your tables at compile time" In fact, there is room for some collaboration [2] "option would be to write a sqlpp11 connector library for SOCI" [1] http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2013/11/208391.php [2] http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2013/11/208394.php Best regards, -- Mateusz Łoskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
