+ODB is an open-source, cross-platform, and cross-database object-
+relational mapping (ORM) system for C++. It allows you to persist
+C++ objects to a relational database without having to deal with
+tables, columns, or SQL and without manually writing any mapping
+code.
+
+ODB supports MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and
+Microsoft SQL Server relational databases as well as C++98/03 and
+C++11 language standards. It also comes with optional profiles
+for Boost and Qt which allow you to seamlessly use value types,
+containers, and smart pointers from these libraries in your
+persistent C++ classes.
+
+The ODB system consists of several packages. The essential packages
+are the ODB compiler (odb), the common runtime library (libodb),
+and the database-specific runtime library (libodb-<database>).
+For example, if you are planning to use MySQL, then the set of
+packages that you will need would be: odb, libodb, and libodb-mysql.
