I'm looking for a well designed, efficient and robust C++ cross-database and cross-platform database communication library. I need support for

• Oracle
• MySQL
• PostgreSQL
• Firebird (optional)
• MSSQL (optional)

When I say cross-platform I really mean cross-platform, I need something similar to boost.

Currently I'm researching soci, but

• I'm not sure how portable and good this library is
• I would like to have an alternatives.

Currently I'm using Qt, but I don't like using Qt only for database communication, while no other Qt features used. It's a temporary solution and I'm looking for开发者_如何学JAVA a replacement.

What libraries do you use? What can you recommend? If you know any really good and portable Oracle communication library that's also acceptable, but cross-database is preferred.

Thanks.

I've used Database Template Library to good effect with Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

I am using OTL (Oracle Template Library). Despite the name, it has backends for different databases and works in different platforms. It also very simple to use. Just add the header.

I also tried Soci, nothing wrong with that but I decided to go with OTL. It was simply easier to include it to my project.
