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. |
